Nice fish, I got a new albino today.
 
Common Names: Green Phantom
L#: 200
Scientific: Hemiancistrus Subviridis
Temp: 72-80
pH: 6.5-7.2
Size: 20 cm or 8"
Location: Venezuela: Rio Orinoco basin
Lighting: Subdued
Diet: Algae eater, also readily accepts veggies. Will also accept meaty food such as bloodworms, shrimp, and beefheart.
Comments These guys need places to hid, and are fairly timid, a very docile species. Coloration can range from dark olive green to mustard yellow.
 
Talk to you LFS, they should be able to Special order you in some more exotic plecos. Thats what I do half the time.
 
Xlent pick up Tyler. Looks like a nice healthy specimen too:thumbsup:
 
20$ sounds quite cheap for it-good pick up. then again might be cause where you live
