The L168 pleco, also known as the butterfly pleco or flash pleco, is a species of catfish that is native to the Xingu River in Brazil. It is a small to medium-sized pleco, reaching a maximum size of around 5 inches (12 cm) in length, making it a suitable choice for smaller aquariums.

The L168 pleco has a distinctive and striking appearance, with a light brown or beige body and dark brown or black stripes that run horizontally along its sides. Its fins are also adorned with black and white spots, adding to its unique and eye-catching appearance.

In the aquarium, the L168 pleco is known for being relatively hardy and adaptable, and it can be a good choice for aquarists with some experience keeping freshwater fish. It prefers water with a neutral to slightly acidic pH and temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C). It also requires plenty of hiding places, such as caves or driftwood, to provide a sense of security and privacy.

The L168 pleco is an omnivorous species and will accept a variety of foods, including algae wafers, sinking pellets, and fresh or blanched vegetables. It is also known to eat some types of live foods, such as bloodworms or brine shrimp.

One of the most interesting aspects of the L168 pleco is its behavior. It is a peaceful and generally non-aggressive fish, but it is also known for being active and playful. It may engage in playful behaviors such as flipping upside down, hiding in crevices, or exploring its environment.

I love VSI on Kindle
Format: eTextbook
The thing is they take a long time to read because of the look up feature. It's like reading a book in the Library of Congress.

Format: Paperback
There are few who are capable of telling the story of plate techtonics including critical details. Peter Molnar is one of those chosen few who can deliver such a story succinctly and precisely.

Very nice, but very short, book on the subject.
Format: Paperback
This is a very nice, but very short, book on the subject. I learned quite a bit and enough to delve into structural geology and related subjects.

Excellent 120 pages book on a complex subject.
Format: Paperback
I thought this was an excellent 120 pages book on a complex subject. It discusses a variety of subjects besides the title of plate tectonics and which are related to it: continental drift, oceanic seafloor spreading, fracture zones, subduction of tectonic plate edges, faulting, the creation of mountains and plateaus, earthquakes, volcanism, oceanic magnetic anomalies, and the locations of concentrated metallic ores. The text is accompanied by almost 40 sketches and diagrams elaborating on the discussions provided in the text. The book also introduces the grand concepts of Earth geology such as the mantle, lithosphere, and asthenosphere. It also provides a short history of the development of the concept of plate tectonics. Finally, the book provides specific detailed descriptions of the formation of major mountain ranges and plateaus such as the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, Tien Shan, the Tarim Basin, the movement of Eastern Asia, the Andes, and the western US mountain ranges. It also gives a short description of the movement of India from the eastern edge of the African Plate to the Eurasian Plate over the past 90+ million years.

Books like this have to be leavened with a human dimension ...
Format: Paperback
This book is too technical for people who are new to the subject of plate tectonics. In fact, I think it is fair to say that if you can understand this book you don't need to read it but if you need to read it you won't understand it. Books like this have to be leavened with a human dimension in the form of stories about people. This book has such stories but they are very brief and tend to get burried under the tecnical detail. There are other books in the "A Very Short Introduction" series which give far more accessible introductions to plate tectonic (e.g. "Earth Science: A Very Short Introduction"). I would suggest that anyone who was entirely new to the subject should read one of them instead.
