It is one of the true wood-eating plecos, and that single fact governs how it must be kept: without a piece of real driftwood to rasp at, it will not do well no matter what else is on the menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall: adults reach roughly 9 to 10 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal driftwood is essential, not decorative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso takes algae wafers, blanched courgette and sinking vegetable foods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful and shy; provide caves and shaded cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost active after the lights go out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom-dweller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts small adult size makes it one of the few plecos that suits a tank in the 100 to 150 litre range, and it fits well with tetras, rasboras, corydoras and dwarf cichlids. It grazes some algae but is not an efficient algae eater, so buy it because you want the fish rather than the labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store.
