L204 Flash Pleco

Also known as Pinstripe Panaques, L204 Flash Plecos (Panaqolus albivermis) are striking catfish with a dark brown or black body adorned with thin tan stripes. While most of these stripes are continuous, some may appear separated or dotted. It's worth noting that the spotted variant, often referred to as L204a, is still classified as the same species.

To ensure their well-being, L204 Flash Plecos require driftwood in their tank. They rely on the microorganisms that grow on the surface of driftwood as a significant part of their diet. In addition to this natural food source, they can also be fed vegetables and occasional meaty foods to supplement their diet.

The presence of driftwood not only provides sustenance but also serves as a suitable hiding place for L204 Flash Plecos. It is recommended to provide ample driftwood in the aquarium to fulfill their dietary needs and create a comfortable environment.

Overall, L204 Flash Plecos are fascinating additions to an aquarium, with their unique coloration and feeding behavior. By ensuring a proper diet and the presence of driftwood, you can provide these plecos with an environment where they can thrive and display their natural behaviors.
