Flash Pleco
(Panaque sp.)
Common names: Flash pleco, L204
Size: 13cm
pH: 6.6 – 8.6
Tempº: 24ºC - 30ºC
Tank region: Bottom layer
Origin: Peru
Gender: The males start to grow odontodes on their backs when they reach about 9-10cm.
Notes: These fish are rapidly emerging as one of the most popular plecos around. Like all plecos, they love caves to hide in – and you should feed them on vegetables along with spirulina wafers and such. These fish can be prone to fin nipping – as their exotic tail extensions are somewhat vulnerable. Ideal tank mates would include fish from the livebearer family, like platys and guppys.
They can get a little territorial as they mature.
