L066) is a breathtaking and highly sought-after pleco from the Rio Xingu and Rio Iriri in Brazil. Displaying a bold pattern of thick, irregular white to cream stripes and spots over a jet-black body, the L066 is one of the most visually striking plecos in the hobby and a true centrepiece fish for any aquarium. Like other Hypancistrus species, it is more carnivorous than most plecos and thrives in warm, well-oxygenated water with good flow — conditions that mimic its native fast-flowing Amazonian rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Size: Minimum 120L; can be kept in small groups — males can be territorial with each other; provide ample caves and hiding spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Parameters: pH 6.0–7.5 | Temp 26–30°C | Warm water essential; requires well-oxygenated water with moderate to strong flow; very sensitive to poor water quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Primarily carnivorous — quality sinking carnivore pellets and wafers; supplement with frozen or live bloodworm, brine shrimp, and small invertebrates; will also accept some vegetable matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Peaceful toward other species; males territorial with conspecific males — provide one cave per fish minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Setup: Rocky aquascape with multiple caves and crevices; driftwood appreciated; strong filtration and regular water changes essential; avoid cold or stagnant conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate — requires warm, high-quality water and specific cave setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Size: 14–16cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52097159921986,"sku":null,"price":74.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/0128\/8258\/files\/IMG-6243.webp?v=1772088747","url":"https:\/\/chloesaquaticcentre.com.au\/products\/king-tiger-pleco-l066-3-4cm","provider":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
