Overview:
Due to its striking pattern, small size, and hardy nature, this pleco has been highly sought after since it first arrived in the Western fish trade in the 1990's. These are reputed to be more peaceful with each other than many hypancistrus species. They are highly recommended for someone who wants to try their hand at breeding Hypancistrus species for the first time.

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.
