They spend much of their time resting on wood, hiding under cover, exploring caves, and grazing surfaces. This species naturally associates with root tangles and wood in the wild, so they do best when the aquarium provides similar structure and shaded refuge.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey do best in tanks with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlenty of driftwood or bogwood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaves and shaded hiding places\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable water quality and temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood oxygenation and water movement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmooth hardscape and adequate bottom space  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTank Size (Recommended)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSingle fish: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 gallons recommended\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for long-term care\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSmall peaceful community setup: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 long \/ 29 gallon+ preferred\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMultiple plecos or heavier bottom-dweller stocking: larger tanks strongly recommended to reduce territorial stress\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal range: 75–82°F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable warm water is more important than chasing an exact number  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTank Mates (Good Choices)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest tank mates are peaceful tropical fish that will not constantly harass them or compete too heavily for the same bottom territory and caves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood tank mates may include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeaceful midwater community fish \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCorydoras in properly planned setup \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003esome rainbowfish in larger aquariums \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOther calm tropical fish with similar care requirements \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarge aggressive cichlids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverly boisterous bottom dwellers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCramped setups with multiple plecos competing for the same caves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRough fish that constantly disturb resting areas  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeeding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL104 Clown Plecos are wood-eaters and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emust have driftwood or bogwood in the aquarium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
