Description
Gibbiceps Pleco. Common & Latin Name : Gibbiceps Pleco (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps ) Care level: Easy Max Size: 50cm Diet: Omnivore Temp: 23-27°C PH: 6.5-8 Purchase size: 5-6cm The Gibbiceps Pleco is one of the largest plecos widely available in the hobby. They grow to an astonishing 50cm if they are provided adequate space and nutrition. The Aquarium needs to be at least 6ft in length with soft acidic water and dim lighting. The addition of bog wood and caves will help the pleco find a shady place to rest and feel secure. Any decor must be fixed down securely as these fish are powerful enough to move most things as they pass. Bull in a china shop style. Plants can be added, but we recommend epiphytes such as anubias and java fern as other plants may end up getting dug up or accidentally moved. Whilst they will not eat the plants themselves, they can often be observed trying to rasp algae off the leaves.. Source: Shirley Aquatics Tropical Livestock.
