Care Information
Lifespan: 10 years
Habitat:
Plenty of hiding spots in the form of caves or driftwood are needed. Drift is an absolute must for the L397 Pleco
Diet:
Feeding this pleco is super easy as they will eat all types of different foods. L397 Pleco is omnivores which means they will eat both plant-based and high-protein meaty foods. This makes them one of the easiest plecos to feed. They should receive a balanced diet of vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. They might also eat algae growing in the tank, however, this doesn’t mean Alenquer Plecos are good algae-eating plecos.
Wood is a stable part of their diet so you will have to have different types of driftwood in your aquarium. These wood-eating fish will need wood to survive in an aquarium.
They thrive on a plant-based diet, however, they love to eat meaty and high-protein foods as well. For protein, frozen or live foods like bloodworms, tubifex, daphnia, brine shrimp, and other small creatures make great choices.
