General Comments:
The Rio-Negro Plecostomus, also
known as the Candy Stripe-Peckoltia, comes from the rivers and tributaries of
South America. It is dark brown to black with irregular golden vertical stripes.
The rays of the fins are also golden with black stripes. Rio-Negro Plecos make
good additions to any community aquarium.
Planted aquariums with hearty,
fast-growing plants, high aeration, and water movement make for a healthy
environment. Rocks and driftwood help to accent a natural habitat and provide
hiding spaces to reduce stress for the Candy Stripe Plecostomus. A recommended
minimum tank of 30 gallons should be provided to house this fish.
The Rio-Negro Plecostomus has
not been bred in an aquarium setting and little is known about their breeding
habits.
Feeding the Rio-Negro
Plecostomus is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a picky eater.
Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left
over food and algae. If there is no algae or left over food present, supplement
with high quality flake food, sinking carnivore pellets, freeze-dried
bloodworms, and tubifex.

 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!
