Description

The L239 Pleco, also known as the Blue Panaque or Blue Panaque Pleco, is a visually appealing freshwater catfish hailing from the rivers of Venezuela. Characterized by its dark blue to black body with intricate lighter blue markings, this pleco typically grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length.
This species is an omnivore, feeding on a mix of vegetables, algae wafers, and protein-based foods. It thrives in a well-maintained aquarium with stable water conditions, a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), and plenty of hiding spots and driftwood.
Known for its peaceful temperament, the L239 Pleco can coexist with other non-aggressive tank mates. Its manageable size and striking appearance make it a popular choice among aquarists, though it does require diligent care to meet its dietary and environmental needs.
