What temp do you keep your Pleco tanks at?

[suckerfish]

Any plecos do well in cooler or temperate water ? I read that bristlenose do well in cooler waters but was wondering if there are others

Wes has some from Argentina, I think are colder water and big too.

Rheophilic fish like plecos require high oxygen content to be thriving. High temperature water holds less oxygen...If the tank is heavily planted, one can get away with high temps because plants ensure high oxygen content, otherwise, one should stick to the particular's pleco low temperature range or blast the tank surface with very high flow and hope for the best.

I've got a luteus pleco with my NA natives and the tank got down to 56 this Winter. He was still very active and did just fine.

Luteus are definitely cold water tolerant.

I keep my vampire, green phantom and bristlenose in 78 degrees.

The temperature in my tank around 28-30c the Pleco seem active and healthy for many years. The list : L24, L25, L273, L155, L191, L007, L200A, L075, L27, L114, L46

What do you usually feed the L155?
