"Three Beacon" L-091 Pleco (3-4in)
L-091 Pleco Care Sheet:
1. Tank Setup:
Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and caves. Plecos, including L-091, appreciate hiding places.
Use a substrate of sand or fine gravel to mimic their natural habitat.
2. Water Parameters:
Maintain stable water conditions. Plecos are generally hardy, but they prefer specific water parameters.
Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C).
pH: 6.5-7.5.
Hardness: 5-15 dGH.
3. Filtration:
Use a good-quality filtration system to keep the water clean. Plecos can produce a significant amount of waste.
4. Diet:
Offer a well-balanced diet that includes high-quality sinking pellets, wafers, and fresh vegetables.
Supplement with occasional feedings of live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms.
5. Tankmates:
Choose tankmates carefully, as plecos can be territorial. Avoid aggressive or overly active species.
Plecos are generally peaceful, but individual temperament may vary.
6. Lighting:
Provide subdued lighting as plecos often come from environments with dense vegetation and subdued light.
7. Maintenance:
Regular water changes are essential for maintaining good water quality.
Clean the substrate during water changes but be gentle, as plecos may ingest substrate while feeding.
8. Breeding:
If you have a male and female L-091, they may breed in captivity. Provide caves for them to lay eggs and protect the fry.
9. Observation:
Keep an eye on your plecos for any signs of illness or stress. Quick action can prevent and treat potential issues.
