Description
L047 Mango plecos, also sold as Magnum plecos, hail from the Rio Xingu in Para, Brazil, where they live above the Belo Monte falls. Growing up to around 22cm in length, these freshwater plecos are renowned for their dark olive bodies and the broad yellowish band across the dorsal and tail fins, which they keep throughout life.
Juveniles are calm, but males become territorial and aggressive towards other males. L047s are best kept singly, or with just one male per aquarium.
To mimic their natural environment, consider strong flow with plenty of caves to create hiding places and establish boundaries.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our L047s EBO Spirulina Tabs, algae wafers and cucumber, along with frozen 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.
