Medusa Plec (L34)
Ancistrus ranunculus
These fish necessitate clean water, free of nitrogenous contaminants. As timid feeders, they must be established on a steady diet of bloodworms, sinking pellets, and the occasional vegetable before being introduced into a community tank. They do eat algae, but sparingly.
Tankmates should be comprised of small, schooling Characins/Cyprinids or larger, slow moving and peaceful Cichlids such as Pterophyllum sp. Boisterous and otherwise aggressive feeders should be avoided. Cover should be provided.
Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 6cm - 8cm
