Description
L066 King Tiger plecos hail from the Rio Xingu in Para, Brazil, around the Belo Monte area. Growing to around 12 to 14cm in length, these low-bodied freshwater plecos are best identified by their pale white to yellowish bodies covered in black, maze-like markings, with banded fins.
L066s are peaceful with quiet tank mates and can be kept in groups. Be mindful that Hypancistrus will hybridise, so we recommend keeping just one Hypancistrus species in your aquarium.
To mimic their natural environment, consider high oxygenation and a good flow, with plenty of caves.
L066s are mostly meat eaters. At Wirral Aquatics we feed our L066s Mussel sticks, Artemia, and frozen brine shrimp and bloodworm.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
