Rs. 2,200.00

Description

The Algae Eater L-series Pleco L191, also known as the Dull-eyed Royal Pleco or Broken Line Royal Pleco, is a captivating and functional addition to any freshwater aquarium. At 7-8 cm in size, this juvenile pleco is just beginning to develop the distinct characteristics that make it a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts.

The L191 Pleco is known for its unique and attractive appearance. It has a dark, almost black body adorned with irregular, creamy-yellow lines and spots, creating a striking contrast. These patterns vary from fish to fish, giving each one a unique look. Its eyes are set in a way that gives it a somewhat dull or subdued appearance, hence the name "Dull-eyed Royal Pleco."

This pleco is an excellent algae eater, making it a useful addition to tanks where algae control is needed. It will actively graze on algae growing on tank surfaces, driftwood, and plants, helping to keep the aquarium clean. In addition to algae, it enjoys a diet of sinking pellets, vegetables like zucchini and cucumber, and occasional protein-rich foods such as bloodworms or shrimp.

The L191 Pleco prefers a tank that mimics its natural riverine habitat, with plenty of driftwood, as it likes to rasp on wood as part of its diet and to help with digestion. A well-oxygenated tank with a strong water current is ideal, along with a water temperature of 74-82°F, a pH of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.

As it matures, the L191 Pleco can grow up to 16 inches, so it requires a spacious tank—preferably 340 litres or more—as it grows. This species is generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of tank mates, provided they are not overly aggressive or prone to disturbing its bottom-dwelling lifestyle.

With its unique appearance, algae-eating capabilities, and relatively peaceful nature, the Algae Eater L-series Pleco L191 is both a practical and visually appealing choice for medium to large aquariums.
