L340 Mega Clown Pleco

Description

A strikingly patterned, small growing species of Hypancistrus from the warm, acidic water of the Orinoco and its tributaries, the L340 or Mega Clown Pleco is an ideal species for the small to medium community aquarium. Although normally shy at first, they will become more comfortable spending time out in the open over time and especially when food is added to the tank. Like most of their close relatives, the L340 is not a particularly good algae eater and prefers a more protein rich diet than some plecos. These plecos are rare to find and hard to keep in stock
