Peckoltia sp L147

[I_Xeno]

I have a cople of questions abiut this fish :

Is it very shy ?
What is the maximum size of it ?

[MatsP]

It's likely to grow a bit bigger than other Peckoltia spp. since it's most closely related to

Peckoltia sabaji

.

I've got a female L-147 and she's about 4" total length. She does hide most of the day, upside-down in a driftwood cave. She seems to have a "home base" she prefers. If she goes wandering through the tank and feels threatened by a shadow or something, she immediately swims back to this safe haven. She hasn't met a food she doesn't like, but zucchini makes her day.


The only way I can get a photo of her is to feed her before the lights go out and she's been in the same 75 gallon tank for well over a year. I'm already looking for a replacement piece of driftwood, just in case this one dissolves.

I have a group of 5 L147. They are a fairly peaceful fish, often bullied by other more aggresive plecos. In terms of shyness, they tend to hang around a favourite cave sometimes inside, sometimes around the enterance. Don't expect them to come to you during feeding time though.
