== Tank compatibility ==
 
== Tank compatibility ==
:A small and peaceful small Pleco species. Can be housed with other similar-sized fish species. It is happiest in groups of its own kind, it is not overly territorial with its own species at all.
+
:it is very insecure about itself, altough females tend to be less insecure. And they usually suffer from anxiety which means they will try not to bother the other fishes.
  
  
 
== Diet ==
 
== Diet ==
:Should mainly be fed algae and [[spirulina]] pellets and flakes as well as blanched vegetables. May also nibble meaty foods like [[bloodworm]] if put in for other fish, but this shouldn't form a regular part of their diet.

feed him dirt and driftwood

+
:they do not require oxygen. I REPEAT, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE OXYGEN TO LIVE..
