Rubber lips set, standard

Product Information

The caped crusader Batman was busy battling the villain, Mr Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. As former molecular biologist Dr Victor Fries, Mr Freeze had suffered a terrible accident when experimenting with cryogenics. He now lives as a criminal in a sub-zero suit that is powered by diamonds. I can’t say it was a waste of money, as I really like these creatures, but rather a waste of talent. Rubber Lip Plecos are relatively diminutive, with females reaching a modest 4 to 5 inches in length, while their male counterparts tend to be slightly smaller, measuring in at 3 to 4 inches. Plecos prefer a water pH of 6.5 to 7.5 and KH levels in the range of 8 to 12. The water temperature should be between 70 0 and 78 0 Fahrenheit. The filter system in the tank should be efficient, providing a medium to high water flow and a well-aerated environment. Breeding

What are some good plecostomus foods? A high-quality diet of sinking algae wafers or pellets is ideal, and then offer a mix of treat foods a couple of times a week. The best treats include blanched veggies such as: Rubber Lip Pleco populations are found mainly in the wild in the Magdalena River in Columbia and the Apure River in Venezuela. Whenever I was watching my Galactic Algae Destroyer, as I named him, he would just stand still and pretend to be a statue. Rubber Lip Plecos almost exclusively eat algae grown on the grass, glass, tank decorations, etc. There are no exceptions or varieties of algae that these fish would not eat, except hard algae that adhere to the aquarium glass. However, sometimes the fish may lose interest in the naturally grown algae and may prefer to eat other food items. In this case, to offer a nutritious and healthy diet to the Rubber Lip Pleco, you may offer things like fresh zucchini, spinach, algae wafers, peas, high-quality fish flakes, spirulina, cucumber, and many other varieties of nutrients too!It’s important to remember that while keeping Rubber Lip Plecos can be a gratifying experience, it’s a job that requires dedication and a commitment to maintaining optimal water conditions. It’s worth noting that most of the plecos that you see for sale in fish and pet stores are juveniles. So, remember that your fish will grow slowly until it eventually makes its full size of around five inches. Habitat and origins

While Batman is busy pursuing Mr Freeze, Robin appears to be falling for Poison Ivy’s fatal charms. Despite Batman’s warnings, he seems oblivious to the danger he’s in, as the evil femme fatale flirts and tries to charm him into believing she loves him. For a good image of your aquarium, goldfish and Rubber lipped pleco would be great choices. Lighting, Filtration, and Aeration It’s nearly impossible to grow naturally enough algae in an aquarium without degrading the overall water quality. You’ll end yourself devoting far more time to this than you intended, with little to show for it.Like most aquarium species, RLs are sensitive to ammonia and other toxins that can build up in a dirty tank. They prefer to live in very clean water that’s cycled by a good HOB or canister filter. Plecos don’t need a heavy current, but they do enjoy swimming in your filter outflows. The rubber lip pleco can reach a maximum size of roughly 7 inches in length. When raised in an aquarium, most rubber-lipped plecos reach a height of approximately 5.5 inches in length. They are not as large as some other popular plecos, making them an excellent pet for home community aquariums. Anything you put in your tank, especially scraps that drop to the bottom, is likely to be taken by your Rubber lip plecos. You don’t need to feed your pleco any more meaty foods if you’re currently feeding your other fish live/frozen items like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and Daphnia eggs. It’s essential to keep them on a vegetarian diet. When I’m about to get one I always ask the guys at the store to give them some veggie or algae wafers, just to make sure they will eat it.

Plecos are slow growers, growing perhaps an inch or so each year, and not reaching their maximum size for a few years. However, you should still use a large aquarium that’s long rather than tall so that these bottom-dwellers have plenty of scavenging space.These fish have specially enlarged gills speculated to serve the purpose of breathing while being attached or feeding. By providing a meticulously maintained tank, a diverse and well-balanced diet, and compatible tank mates, you can revel in the company of these charismatic scaleless fish for years to come. Fish stores often confuse the RL with the Rubber pleco ( Parancistrus aurantiacus) and falsely advertise them as one another.
