L135) is a striking medium-sized pleco with tan, gold, or orange coloration, dark body bands, and intricate, scribble-like markings across its head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin and identification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our listing identifies these fish as wild-caught from the Rio Demini, a tributary of the Rio Negro in Brazil. This locality is associated with L135. Similar worm-line plecos have often been sold under the names L121 and \u003cem\u003ePeckoltia braueri\u003c\/em\u003e, but their identification and relationship remain debated. We use \u003cem\u003ePeckoltia\u003c\/em\u003e sp. L135 for the Demini form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium care and feeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide warm, well-oxygenated water, good filtration, regular water changes, and plenty of caves and shaded hiding places. Soft, slightly acidic water suits its natural habitat. Offer a varied omnivorous diet including quality sinking foods, suitable gel foods, occasional vegetables, and frozen foods such as bloodworms and mysis shrimp. Do not rely on aquarium algae alone to meet its nutritional needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehavior and tankmates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally peaceful with suitable tankmates, L135 can be territorial toward other bottom-dwelling fish, especially around caves. Provide multiple shelters and adequate space when keeping more than one. Choose tankmates that tolerate the same water conditions and will not bully or swallow the pleco. Like other cave-spawning Peckoltia, males guard the eggs and developing young.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"2-3\" Unsexed Wild Caught Demini","offer_id":51587861020979,"sku":null,"price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6524\/2419\/files\/L135WormLineWebsite.jpg?v=1748616246","url":"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/products\/l135-worm-line-peckoltia","provider":"Imperial Tropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
