The L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is a wood-eating pleco that rasps biofilm from driftwood. It is 1.25–1.4 inches long. 

Characteristics: 

  • Diet

    Prefers a vegetarian diet, but can also eat crustaceans and insect larvae. A diet with too much protein and too little vegetarian food can cause problems.

  • Water conditions

    Tolerant of water hardness between 6.4–7.7, with a temperature range of 75.2–86°F (24.0–30.0°C) and a hardness of 2–10 dKH.

  • Breeding

    To encourage breeding, set up a separate breeding tank with hiding places and a spawning site.

  • Temperament

    Peaceful, but males can be quarrelsome over territories and food. Can be aggressive towards other bottom dwellers if there aren't suitable hiding places.

  • Appearance

    Has a dense wormline pattern on its head and vivid orange and black coloration.
