L95 Orange Cheek Pleco Profile

Scientific Name : Pseudorinelepis genibarbis (Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1840)
Family : Loricariidae
Common Name : Orange Cheek Pleco
Maximum Length : 36cm / 14"
Origin : Rio Purus, Bazil
pH Level : 6.0 - 7.4 Things to note: This is another species for which there is very little literature available on the Internet. However it is famed for its gentleness and beauty, and it is one of the more popular choices for experienced and deep pocketed hobbyists.

Personal comments : My L95 is a voracious eater and moves almost constantly as soon as food is dropped into the tank. It rarely darts around and instead glides gently up and down the tank.

Tips : Try feeding foods with colour enhancing ingredients; you may find that L95 colourations will improve quickly. Most L95 ship extremely well due to their ability to take in atmospheric oxygen; DOA rates are extremely low.
