Overview:

Cactus plecos are beautiful and their multitude of spines make them interesting to observe...cactus indeed! Cactus plecos are hardy and easy to keep if given adequate space, lots of food, and clean water. This is a great looking species with lots of bright whitish spots against a dark background. While peaceful towards community fish, they can be ornery towards each other when mature, especially the males. However, if plenty of hiding places and food is available, they can be kept in numbers.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
