info for stingray pleco?

[philip02180]

I saw these tiny (~ 1") plecos in my LFS yesterday. But the store only labeled them as 'stringray' pleco probably because they DO look like stringray, just much smaller. I couldn't find any info about them in the net. Anyone knows anything about them? Like how big they get, water requirements, etc.

Try this link, various hillstream loaches are sometimes sold as stingray pleco's, chinese pleco etc. In my experience the hillstream loaches need cooler, very clean water with very low nitrates, typical of other mountain stream fish.
