L137 blue eyed red fin pleco

[jaws7777]

Anyone keeping these ? Are they omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores?

Omnivores, like a lot of plecos. Some meats mostly veggies and some driftwood to scrape on.

Thx man all i found where FS threads. Ugh so if they rasp on dw that may be an issue. Eventually i'd like to keep them in an acrylic. A few other members had good success with pseudas in acrylic

Im waiting to hear back about an L273. Never kept one and always wanted to. Saw a 137 available and got greedy lol

I hear ya. There’s so many plecos I want. L273 is one for sure.
I would say if you’re worried about the acrylic if you stay vigilant and keep the algae off, it will be less tempting.
Especially if you leave the wood and decor for them to feed on

My pseudas never hang on the acrylic and I have a ton of driftwood that my L137 is chewing on. Everything is fine but that's just my experience

I’ve had one for a couple years now. It goes nuts for Zucchini and munches on the driftwood all day long.

Mine eats a little bit of everything

Definitely omnivores. Mine likes to hide in a dark spot on the tank in the back right corner on the glass. At night it will come to the glass and eat algae off of it.
