Product Description:

The LDA105 Pleco, also known as the Typhoon Pleco, is a stunning and sought-after freshwater fish that will make a captivating addition to your aquarium. Here's a detailed description of the LDA105 Pleco, including its water conditions, tank mates, feeding habits, and care requirements:

- Size and Appearance: The LDA105 Pleco is a medium-sized catfish that can reach a size of 16-17 centimeters (6.3-6.7 inches) in length. It boasts a unique and eye-catching pattern with a mix of light and dark patches on its body. The overall coloration can vary from dark brown to black. As they mature, their fins may develop elongated filaments, adding to their visual appeal.

- Water Conditions: The LDA105 Pleco thrives in water conditions that resemble its natural habitat. Maintain a temperature range of 78-82°F (25-28°C) and a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. It's important to ensure good water quality by using a reliable filtration system and performing regular water changes to keep ammonia and nitrate levels in check.

- Tank Size and Setup: Provide a spacious tank to accommodate the active nature of the LDA105 Pleco. A tank with a capacity of at least 40 gallons (150 liters) is recommended for a single LDA105 Pleco. They appreciate ample hiding spots such as caves, driftwood, and rocky formations. Ensure the tank has a secure lid as Plecos are known to be skilled jumpers.

- Tank Mates: The LDA105 Pleco is generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful community fish that share similar water parameters. Suitable tank mates include tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or territorial fish that may cause stress or harm.

- Feeding Habits: The LDA105 Pleco is primarily herbivorous and will graze on algae and biofilm in the aquarium. Supplement their diet with sinking pellets or wafers specifically formulated for herbivorous catfish. Offer them blanched vegetables such as zucchini, cucumber, and spinach. They may also accept occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp.

- Tank Decor: Create a well-decorated tank for your LDA105 Pleco by providing hiding places and suitable substrate. They appreciate caves, hollow driftwood, and rock formations. Adding live plants can enhance the aesthetics of the tank, but keep in mind that Plecos may nibble on soft-leaved plants. Choose smooth substrate to prevent abrasion.

- Care and Maintenance: Regular tank maintenance is essential for the health of your LDA105 Pleco. Perform regular water changes of 20-30% every one to two weeks to maintain water quality. Keep an eye on the filtration system and clean the substrate as needed. Monitor water parameters using a reliable test kit and make adjustments accordingly.

- Lifespan: With proper care, the LDA105 Pleco can live for 10 to 15 years or even longer. Providing them with a suitable environment, a balanced diet, and optimal water conditions will contribute to their longevity.

The LDA105 Pleco is a captivating and visually striking fish that will make a beautiful addition to your aquarium. However, it's important to note that they require appropriate tank size, suitable tank mates, and a varied diet to thrive.

Please ensure you have the necessary knowledge, resources, and commitment to provide a suitable and thriving environment for the LDA105 Pleco before adding them to your aquarium.
