L360 Gold Trim Pleco Profile
Scientific Name : Hypostomus sp. L360
Family : Loricariidae
Common Name : Gold Trim Pleco
Maximum Length : 30cm / 12"
Origin : Rio Jamanxim, Brazil
pH Level : 6.0 - 7.4
Things to note: There is very little literature available on the species on the Internet, and the best way to find out more about this species is to ask experienced L360 keepers for advice. It is rumoured that a L360 comm tank is extremely beautiful.
*Postnote: Since this post I have been to bro Titus' house: He keeps over eight L360s and one L360a(speckled body) and it is wondrous to see this species given such warm attention by an enthusiastic keeper.*
Personal comments : My L360 is highly intelligent, and shifts its location according the time of the day; it hides under its favourite piece of wood in the day, and hangs onto the side of the glass at night. When moving its fins move like legs and it is a highly amusing as well as beautiful pleco to keep.
Tips : Keeping this fish in a comm tank may reduce its aggression to a large extent.

Sexual dimporphism / reproduction : Not known.
Feeding : It is omnivorous, and will eat just about anything.
Behavior in captivity : This potentially large pleco is amusingly docile, but is liable to dart around the tank when frightened. When calm it moves using its bottom 4 fins, and when it opens and closes its dorsal fin as it moves, it is enchanting to watch.
