The L201 Pleco, also known as the Orinoco Angel Pleco or Snowball Pleco, is a species of freshwater catfish originating from the Orinoco River basin in Venezuela and Colombia.

 

  • Appearance: The L201 Pleco is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by its white or cream-colored body adorned with bold black spots or marbling patterns. Its body is typically elongated and flattened, with a broad head and a sucker mouth, which it uses to attach itself to surfaces.

  • Size: L201 Plecos are relatively small compared to some other species of Plecos, typically reaching a maximum size of around 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 centimeters) in length when fully grown. This makes them suitable for smaller aquarium setups.

  • Behavior: L201 Plecos are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of other fish species in a community aquarium. They are primarily nocturnal, preferring to be more active during the night, and will spend much of their time scavenging for food along the bottom of the tank.

  • Diet: Like other Plecos, L201 Plecos are omnivorous and primarily herbivorous. In the wild, they feed on algae, plant matter, and small invertebrates. In captivity, they can be fed a diet consisting of high-quality sinking pellets or tablets, blanched vegetables such as zucchini or cucumber, and occasional protein-rich foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp.

  • Tank Requirements: L201 Plecos require a well-maintained aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and surfaces to graze on. They appreciate driftwood and other decorations where they can retreat during the day. The aquarium should have a sandy or fine-gravel substrate to prevent damage to their delicate underbellies.

  • Water Parameters: These Plecos prefer warm, slightly acidic to neutral water conditions similar to their natural habitat in the Orinoco River basin. Ideal water temperature ranges from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C), with a pH level between 6.5 to 7.5. Regular water changes are essential to maintain water quality.

  • Compatibility: L201 Plecos are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of tank mates, including small to medium-sized community fish that are not aggressive or prone to fin-nipping. However, they may become territorial towards other Plecos or bottom-dwelling species if space is limited.
