Caring for a L114 Pleco (Pseudacanthicus Leopardus) can be a rewarding experience! Here's a comprehensive care guide to help you keep your L114 Pleco healthy and happy:

Tank Setup

  • Tank Size: A minimum of 90 gallons is recommended due to their potential size of 10-12 inches as adults.

  • Substrate: Sandy substrate with rocks and driftwood to mimic their natural habitat.

  • Water Conditions: Slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.5), well-oxygenated water. Maintain a temperature of 80-90°F (27-32°C).

  • Filtration: A powerful filter with moderate to strong current is essential.

  • Decorations: Provide plenty of hiding spots with caves and driftwood.

Diet

  • Food: High-quality sinking pellets, frozen or live foods. They are carnivorous but will also consume plant material if available1.

  • Feeding: Feed them a varied diet to ensure they get all necessary nutrients.

Compatibility

  • Tank Mates: Peaceful with larger tetras and peaceful cichlids. Avoid aggressive fish that may harm your L114 Pleco.

Maintenance

  • Water Changes: Regular water changes to keep the water clean and stable.

  • Monitoring: Regularly check water parameters to ensure they remain within the ideal range.

Behavior and Breeding

  • Behavior: Generally peaceful but can be territorial. They enjoy exploring and hiding.

  • Breeding: Cave spawners; breeding in captivity can be challenging.

Lifespan

  • Longevity: With proper care, L114 Plecos can live up to 10-12 years in captivity.
