The Loyal Freshwater Algae Eaters in Tropical Tank: Adonis Pleco


Its aquarium should contain large pieces of heavy and bogwood rockwork that the fish cannot move when swimming about. An inert sand would be the best choice for substrate. An amazing sight when grown using its spiny amour it looks like something.

It should be mentioned that the Adonis Plec grows large when nature so a very big aquarium with a sizable footprint will undoubtedly be asked to give ample swimming room to this fish, the tank length should be at least three times its body along with its body length.

Like most plecs well oxygenated water is required by them plus it must be held to a lot of water changes and the best quality using a filtration system that is suitable. Additionally they require dimmed lighting, floating plants will help with this, so live aquarium plants are not a good choice for décor they also want to burrow in the substrate, rocks or driftwood provides ample hiding places to produce them feel secure.

Feeding

A lot! Will eat substantial quantities of all prepared foods such as big pellets, wafers, and sticks, together with balls of market shrimp frozen foods, fish filets, and mussels. Vegetable matter must also be included like kale, green beans, lettuce, cucumber, and spinach leaves. They're going to also graze on wood in the aquarium if that is a necessity in their own diet but it's not known.

Compatibility

To keep greater than one person would demand an immense aquarium. Caution should probably be taken not to place them with other highly competitive loricariids such as Pseudacanthicus etc., as this is likely to result in serious injuries or death to one or both fish.

Care

Base opportunistic feeder. Finest not kept with other plecs at all, they are able to easily be attacked.expected to their size should really be kept in huge roomy tank.larger but not competitive mid to top swimming fish tank mates should be great... water should really be kept immaculate with water changes, large driftwood, bogwood and stone, no plantings as they'll be uprooted.

Sand is the very best substrate for them. Good filtration. Like fast moving water if possible. Need 125gal tank min. Not a fussy eater--fruit, vegetables, pellets and bits of fish, algae wafers and live foods. Feed 2x's a daily.

Suggested Tankmates

Given the filtration demands presented by the feeding behavior of this species, little fish are probably not wise, but no issues were found when housed with medium-to-large midwater swimming fish for example Pike Cichlids, Aeqidens, Brycon, big Anostomids, Myleus/Mylossoma, Prochilodus etc. etc.

Procreation

They've been bred in captivity, additional details will likely be provided the moment they're accessible. It might be fascinating to discover courtship, breeding and care of the fry, but nevertheless, it will probably just be attempted in aquaria that are enormous or ponds. Even in a 1000 gallon aquarium an adult male would be capable of making the life of a female very disagreeable.

Decision

These fish have become interesting to keep. A larger tank is definitely proposed. Plecos are wonderful using their forked tail and dazzling white spots as adults they're glossy jet black. Active during the night. So plecos and other catfish aren't guided pretty peaceful but will be territorial.

This fish is a little challenging to help keep in cycled tank, they are pricey to buy and hard to find. Great fish for the seasoned fish keeper. They live about 16 years... great add-on to that enormous tank with large centre to top of tank fish. Appealing and eye.
