L075 Para Pleco

Feed sinking algae wafers and pellets 3-4 times weekly, supplemented with blanched vegetables like zucchini and cucumber. Provide occasional protein through small amounts of bloodworms or brine shrimp. This species is primarily nocturnal, so feed in the evening when they are most active.

The L075 Para Pleco is a nocturnal bottom-dweller that spends most of the day hiding in caves, driftwood, or dense vegetation. They are solitary and territorial with their own kind but peaceful toward other fish species. At night, they actively forage for algae and detritus along the substrate and decorations.

Breeding in captivity is challenging and rarely achieved in home aquariums. They require specific cave structures and pristine water conditions to spawn. Males are territorial and will guard breeding caves; successful breeding typically requires species-specific tanks with minimal disturbance.
