Suitable tank mates include tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and other peaceful community fish.

• Tank Requirements: Create a suitable habitat for the L114 Cactus Pleco by providing a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and caves. Use soft, sandy substrate and include driftwood or rocks to mimic their natural environment. Maintain a stable water temperature between 24-28°C (75-82°F) and a pH level around 6.5-7.5. Regular water changes are essential to keep the water quality optimal.

• Expert Care: The L114 Cactus Pleco requires good water quality and a well-balanced diet to thrive. Monitor the water parameters regularly, and ensure proper filtration and circulation in the aquarium. Providing sufficient hiding places and maintaining stable water conditions will help reduce stress and promote the pleco's overall health and well-being.
