Peppermint Pleco (L-30)
Oligancistrus sp
L030 is the juvenile form of the adult L031 peppermint plec. Planted aquariums with hearty, fast-growing plants, high aeration, and water movement make for a healthy environment. Rocks and driftwood help to accent a natural habitat and provide hiding spaces to reduce stress for the Pleco. Due to their potential size, a recommended minimum aquarium of 200 litre should be provided to house this fish.
Unfortunately, the Peppermint Pleco breeding habits have not been documented.
Feeding the Oligancistrus Pleco is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a picky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae. If there is insufficient algae or left over food present, supplement with a high quality flake food, dried algae sheets, and sinking algae wafers.
Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 6cm - 8cm
