Cool water pleco

[priits]

Hi
Is there any L-species who accepts cool water temps, I mean 18C/65F.
I have one tank in my bedroom without heating

Do you mean an l-number specifically, or a loricariid more generally?

Have you tried the species search (which allows you to select family and temp range for example).

Hypostomus laplatae can handle cold water

Last winter mine has spent a while in water of 5 C

It does not have a number, but it can have cold

I think Hypostomus laplatae is the only one that can handle cool water.

I think Hypostomus laplatae is the only one that can handle cool water.

In my experience (through keeping them)

Hypostomus latifrons

and

Ancistrus cirrhosus

also live in unheated tanks happily. I'd assume pretty much anything from southern South America can handle cooler water.
