L455 TIGER CHAETOSTOMA PLECO (Chaetostoma .sp)

A uniquely patterned and colorful relative of the more well known “rubber lip plecos, the L455 Tiger or Tiger Chaetostoma Pleco is an undescribed species found only in Amazon tributaries (such as the Maranon and Ucayali) in Peru. Males display the most striking coloration and spotting on the face, but females are also quite colorful. Like most members of the genus Chaetostoma, they prefer moderate to strong water movement and are most at home with plenty of caves and rocks to hide among. In the aquarium, they will accept most sinking herbivore foods, gel diets, and fresh veggies.
