L333 Imperial Arabesque

Post by Tom2600 »

Hi

L333's are IMO a stunning fish. I have never kept one before. Has anyone got info. on their care requirements ie. can they be kept together, breeding etc.

Many Thanks

Tom

Hi there,

I have 3 of these fish in a south american style tank. Lots of bogwood, hiding places etc.

Water is very soft, and about pH 6.5 -7

They love some courgette and take bloodworm readily in between.

They don't seem territorial, and mingle with various other plecs, L18, L126, L47

cheers
Stu

I have 4 in a african cichlid tank. I imagine the ph is 8.5 or so. I have never had a problem with them. Not to aggressive.
The plecos are calling!!!
