  • Streamlined Body: With their slender and streamlined body, Tiger Plecos are built for efficient swimming and exploration.

Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: Maintain the water temperature between 75°F and 82°F (24°C to 28°C) to create an optimal environment for the L002 Tiger Pleco.

  • Moderate Water Hardness: These plecos prefer moderate water hardness levels, ideally between 5 and 12 dGH.
  • Water Quality: Ensure excellent water quality by performing regular water changes and using a reliable filtration system.

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: Provide a spacious aquarium of at least 30 gallons (113 liters) to accommodate a pair of L002 Tiger Plecos comfortably.
  • Substrate and Decor: Utilize a fine-grained substrate, such as sand or gravel, and include hiding spots created by caves, driftwood, or rock formations.
  • Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, as Tiger Plecos appreciate a combination of shaded areas and open swimming spaces.
  • Water Flow: Maintain gentle to moderate water flow to mimic the plecos' natural habitat.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: The L002 Tiger Pleco is generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful fish species of similar size and temperament, such as tetras, rasboras, and peaceful cichlids.
  • Avoid Aggressive or Fin-nipping Fish: It's best to avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species that may cause stress or harm to the Tiger Plecos.
  • Note: Provide adequate hiding spots to allow the plecos to retreat if needed.

Feeding Habit:
