Description
The Angelicus Pleco (Hypancistrus sp. L136) is a peaceful fish, suitable for community tanks and can be kept with Discus , as well as other bottom-dwelling fish.
These plecos are NOT wood eaters, and are more of a carnivore than an algae eater. This is backed up by a small and lightly toothed mouth that indicates it is a poor algae eater.
Provide mainly meaty foods such as bloodworm, discus food and even brine shrimp. It is important to note that while peaceful, you should choose tankmates wisely as Zebras do not compete well for food with particularly fast or aggressive tankmates.
