Hypancistrus sp. (L333) 10 -14 cm
Description
Hypancistrus sp. (L333) - 10 -14 cm
Although the L333 is a sophisticated type of Pleco, it is still a fairly easy species to care for. As long as you meet their basic requirements, your fish will be happy and may even breed.
Plecos prefer a tank with low to medium lighting. Even though Pleco catfish are not nocturnal animals, they will not feel comfortable in very bright light.
The best way to keep the lighting friendly is to add floating plants; if you have bright aquarium lights, it is best to add plants with large leaves and plenty of hiding places to create shade.
Scientific name: Hypancistrus sp.
L number: L333
Family | Loricariidae
Origin: South America / Brazil / Alenquer
Maximum length: 12 – 15 cm
Temperature: 26 – 31 ºC and pH of 6-7.5

Compatibility: Peaceful and can be kept in a community alongside other fish such as Discus.
