L236 White Line Tiger Pleco

Feed high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables such as zucchini and cucumber 3-4 times weekly. Supplement with driftwood for natural grazing and wood consumption. Occasional protein sources like bloodworms or small crustaceans can be offered once weekly.

The L236 is primarily nocturnal and spends most of the day hidden among driftwood, caves, and dense vegetation. It is a peaceful bottom-feeder that grazes on algae and biofilm but rarely interacts with other fish. This species is relatively inactive during daylight hours but becomes more active during evening and night.

Breeding in captivity is extremely difficult and rarely achieved in home aquariums. Males are territorial and require isolated caves for spawning. Successful breeding requires pristine water conditions, specific temperature fluctuations, and high-quality nutrition; most specimens in the hobby are wild-caught.
