Description
L260 Queen Arabesque Plecos hail from the lower rio Tapajós in northern Brazil and grow to around 9cm in length. They are one of the most visually striking dwarf plecos available, covered in an intricate black-and-white labyrinthine pattern that genuinely looks like hand-drawn artwork.
Special requirements: Queen Arabesque Plecos prefer a well-established aquarium with a fine substrate, smooth rocks, and bogwood for shelter. While peaceful with most tank mates, they can be territorial with other plecos of a similar shape and size, so caves should be provided in sufficient numbers if keeping more than one. Good water quality and a varied diet are key to keeping them in top condition.
Diet: L260 Queen Arabesque Plecos are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed ours EBO Pro Soft Artemia, insect meal and seafood. They also enjoy live food such as daphnia and baby brine shrimp.

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.
