L236 Super White Pleco RB Line - The Holy Grail!

Natural Range: Lower Amazon, Xingu River, Brazil
Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised
Estimated size at shipping: 3-4"
Adult Size: around 4-5"

Overview:
This is not a fish we can sex with confidence so these are all sold as unsexed.

The real deal! These plecos' parents are from Ernst Schmidt who received broodstock from his close friend and collaborator Robert Budrovcan, the originator of the RB line. The parents of the fish for sale were obtained directly from Ernst.

These are highly variable. Some have more worm patterning than others, but all are from the RB Super White line.

Setup Considerations:
Like all plecos, these will appreciate caves they can hide in and claim as their own individual territories. They also appreciate a tank with good water movement.

Diet: Carnivore
These are currently eating well on frozen bloodworms. They can easily be trained to take sinking pellets.
