3 inch Inspector Pleco L201 (Hypancistrus contradens)
Like many of the plec species, these fish prefer some form of current in the aquarium, as long as there is some form of water flow it will keep these fish happy and should establish an healthy specimen. The water flow can be created by placing a couple of small power heads in the aquarium or by careful angling of the outlet pipes from internal or external filters. They will require hiding places added to the aquarium, driftwood, bogwood or even terracota plant pots placed on their sides will be beneficial. They are sensitive to poor water quality so large water changes should be performed on a weekly basis and the oxygen levels in the water should be kept at a high level, the power heads can also help with this if they are pointed towards the water surface thus increasing the rate of gaseous exchange. Only keep this plec with peaceful tank mates as they will not tolerate any aggression, this will cause them to hide away which in turn will lead to stress and future health problems. 1 AVAILABLE.
