L95 Orange Cheek Pinecone Pleco 10-12CM The L95 Orange Cheek Pinecone Pleco, scientifically referred to as Pseudorinelepis sp., is a remarkable and visually appealing species belonging to the Loricariidae family. This pleco is especially recognized for its unique orange cheek patches and the pinecone-like design of its body armor, which not only offers protection but also adds an intriguing texture. They can reach a considerable size, making them an exciting addition to larger freshwater aquariums. Origin: This species is indigenous to the swift rivers and tributaries of South America, particularly in nations like Brazil and Venezuela, where the L95 flourishes in areas with strong currents and ample hiding spots among rocks and driftwood. Feeding: The L95 Orange Cheek Pinecone Pleco primarily acts as a detritivore, consuming a variety of organic debris, algae, and biofilm that accumulate on submerged surfaces. In an aquarium setting, they will readily accept a diverse array of foods, including sinking pellets, wafers designed for bottom feeders, fresh vegetables, and occasional protein-rich snacks. Ensuring a well-rounded diet is essential for their health and vibrant coloration. Pictures are of the fish in stock, if require any more please get in touch all sizes are approx
