The L052 Butterfly Pleco, also known as the Atabapo Butterfly Pleco, is a visually stunning pleco species that can be found throughout the Atabapo and Orinoco Rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. These plecos naturally inhabit warm and acidic blackwater areas in the wild.
In aquarium settings, the L052 Butterfly Pleco demonstrates hardiness and adaptability.

These structures provide them with places to seek shelter and establish their territories.
To ensure the overall well-being of the L052 Butterfly Pleco, it is crucial to offer them a varied diet. This should include a combination of fresh vegetables, sinking prepared foods, and gel diets such as Repahy's Soylent Green or Bottom Scratcher. This diverse feeding regimen helps meet their nutritional requirements and promotes their long-term health.
In summary, the L052 Butterfly Pleco, or Atabapo Butterfly Pleco, is a strikingly patterned species that originates from the Atabapo and Orinoco Rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. With proper care, including relatively soft water, ample hiding spots, and a well-rounded diet, aquarists can enjoy the beauty and resilience of these plecos in their aquarium setups.
