Beautiful fish. Feed it some zuchinni (peeled and sliced). Rubber band it to a rock to sink it. It's a plant eatter!! It loves leafy plants (swords, ect). Eats holes into plants. It is nocturnal so does not always come out in morning. Does not bother other fishes.

What else you need to know??
 
I'm not up on my L numbers, what's the common name for the pleco you're talking about?
 
its the blue phantom pleco or blue dot pleco. Mine is sharing a cave with my ghost knife right now lol it makes an odd friendship. I hve not seen mine eat but I have a sword plant in there that my fish always are attacking and I do put zuchini in my tnaks all the time. My clown loaches always eat it up. lol right now hes hanging out with the royal its funny becauses hes so small compared to him. How do people feed plecos meaty foods? no comprende! my bloodworms/brime shrimp/beef heart always get eaten by everything else FAST.
 
Feed meaty foods at night, but not too much. He is a vegetarian and nocturnal.

A lot of these plecos do not have a common name, just a number. The L128 is a beautiful fish. It is semi-blueish instead of being black (like most common plecos).
 
check out data on L200 as very similar species
