Overview
A small growing pleco found in the Rio Ventuari and its tributaries in Venezuela, the L106 Orange Seam Pleco is named for the vibrant orange trim along the outer edges of its dorsal and caudal fins . In the wild, they are found in warm, acidic, fast-moving waters and will do best in similar conditions in the aquarium. A hardy and easy to care for pleco, they will do well with most tankmates but should be given plenty of cover in the form of driftwood or caves so they can establish territories. This species will eat a variety of sinking, gel, and fresh foods in the aquarium, and should be offered a varied diet high in protein.
