Effective Freshwater Algae Eaters in Tropical Tanks: Golden Cloud Pleco


As juveniles, these fish could be held in little groups but as they grow they will become territorial in the tank. Scobinancistrus pariolispos prefer subdued lighting and add wood or stone to create hiding places, adding floating plants will also create shading areas.

Scobinancistrus is a genus of armored catfishes native to the southeastern Amazon Basin in Brazil. An extremely similar (possibly identical) form can be exported in the Rio Xingu and underneath the identity of L048. As you CAn't tell them apart from pictures we've lumped the two together here. Although, beyond distribution, we have yet to see any reason why they are not all S. pariolispos, we've taken the conservative perspective with their identification.

Aquarium Care

This fish is a great addition to a substantial 5ft. or over aquarium containing such fish as South American cichlids, discus and angelfish, only as long as the other occupants aren't too aggressive and can withstand the higher water temperatures, but they'll get apparently territorial as they develop.

Provide Golden cloud pleco’s with a basic diet of quality flake or sinking pellets but they will relish treats of brine shrimp and blood worms. For extra vegetable matter and the tank add cucumber and spinach together. Readily takes a mixed and varied diet including sinking foods like every other high quality foods, frozen bloodworm and catfish pellets which sink to the substrate. These catfish also possess a taste to feed upon more meaty foods such as mussels, dead fish and prawns.

Suggested Tankmates

Suitable as angelfish tank pleco or a discus. Although OK with South American cichlids - a good strategy to brighten up any oscar tank - but might not do well with Central American cichlids due to their temperature requirements that are slightly lower. Perfect with rainbow fish in case you don't mind breaking the biotope mould.

Furniture

Sandy or small pea-formed gravel with groups of rounded rocks and no or few plants reproduces this natural habitat that is fishes. If keeping with similarly sized plecos, order the aquarium to ensure there are a lot of hiding multiple feeding areas and places to diffuse feeding time 'focus'.

Sexing

Males grow larger than females. Males develop a more 'bristled' look that, in particular light, can shine from the light. The leading edge of the pectoral fin ray that is leading additionally becomes somewhat spiny in mature males.

Breeding

Being certainly one of the bigger plecos the maintenance of a breeding colony remains the largest challenge - breeding would seem to be an issue of scale.
