Re: Which Cactus pleco do I have

Thought once they all matured they LOSE the coloring the more they grow?

So in this batch of L114s I expect them to lose more orange in the seam coloring?

While see the L600 younger one has less orange than the older specimen? Its confusing

I think they're more of happier fish without the direct light anyways I'm not sure about the water changes in between length vs your feeding regime as I don't know how big of a tank your tank is vs the number of zebs.

I think if you use structure/caves that are large enough to see into and situate them for viewing, combine this with enough time where the fish will get confident in their surroundings you will see the oncinus more than you think.

55gallons is about 200 liters give or take a bit? in my opinion this tank is far too small for Liosomadoras, let alone 5...... Disagree.
