L27 Rio Xingu Royal Pleco
I have built up a ton of credit at my LFS, and this guy had been there for at least a month and a half. I thought it was cool looking. Unfortunately I will probably never see it as it will be in my pond that has a black bottom, but part of the fun will be looking for it. I need to get some wood for it as well.

soft wood is the main food source of a panaque....

Not for those from the Xingu, at least when young they eat river weed. There is comparatively little wood in their habitat.

Re: L27 Rio Xingu Royal Pleco
and for a Panaque like this one, you'll need high level of O2 until the deep bottom of your pond… not that easy...

Re: L27 Rio Xingu Royal Pleco
I have seen it twice. It gets plenty of oxygen in the pond. My filter is rated for a 3000 gallon pond. My pond is 110 gallons. I have put repashey, zucchini and algae tablets in there, so it is eating pretty well. I may end up trading it to one of my friends and just get a larger L190 "common" royal. It really makes no difference to me, since I rarely see it, but my friend is really interested in it.
