Scobinancistrus pariolispos - L133 Com 5- 9 cm
Description
Scobinancistrus pariolispos - L133
Pleco L133 (scientifically named Scobinancistrus pariolispos) is an armored catfish native to the Tocantins River basin in Brazil, commonly known as the Golden Cloud Pleco.
General Characteristics :
Maximum Size: Reaches about 24 cm in standard length.
Appearance: Dark body covered with small light spots (hence the name "golden cloud").
Sexual Dimorphism: Males grow larger than females, have more square-shaped heads (seen from above) and develop a spinier/bristly texture on the pectoral fins when adult.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: Requires warm water, ideally between 25°C and 29°C.
pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (5.8 to 7.0).
Oxygenation: Requires strong water circulation and very high levels of dissolved oxygen
Feeding and Aquarium:
Diet: Unlike other carnivorous plecos (such as the genus Hypancistrus), the genus Scobinancistrus has modified teeth for scraping and consuming a mixture of organic matter, small invertebrates and biofilm. They should be fed protein-rich sinking pellets and vegetables.
Layout: The aquarium should have a sand or fine gravel substrate, plenty of large rocks and driftwood to create burrows where it can hide during the day.
