SNOWBALL PLECO L201 (L-201 HYPANCISTRUS)

Unlike the popular opinion of many other loricariids, Hypancistrus are more carnivores than algae eaters. This is backed up by a small and lightly toothed mouth that indicates they are poor algae scrapers. Provide small and frequent supply of mainly meaty foods such as dry discus food, bloodworm and even brineshrimp with the infrequent offering of flake or algae tablets.

Suitable with most fish, as long as they are not too large or territorial about bottom-space.
