L173b False Zebra Pleco Hypancistrus Sp 5cmOverview:
The L173b False Zebra Pleco, part of the Hypancistrus genus, is a captivating and sought-after species in the aquarium trade. Known for its stunning black and white striped pattern, which closely resembles that of a zebra, this pleco adds both beauty and intrigue to any freshwater setup. It is a smaller species of pleco, reaching a maximum length of about 3.5 to 4 inches, making it an ideal choice for aquarists with limited space.
Origin:
Native to the Amazon Basin in South America, the L173b False Zebra Pleco thrives in fast-flowing rivers and streams. Its natural habitat is characterized by rocky substrates and plenty of hiding spots among crevices, which should be mimicked in the home aquarium for its wellbeing.
Feeding:
The L173b is predominantly carnivorous, with a diet that should consist of high-quality sinking pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. While it may occasionally graze on algae and biofilm, it is important to supplement its diet with meaty foods for optimal health.
Tank Mates:
Ideal tank mates for the L173b False Zebra Pleco are peaceful and similarly sized fish. Avoid housing them with large, aggressive species. Good companions include tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids. Due to their territorial nature towards conspecifics, it's advisable to keep only one per tank or ensure ample space and hiding places if housing multiple.
Aggression:
This species exhibits a relatively peaceful demeanor towards other species but can become territorial with other bottom-dwellers, especially of its own kind. Providing a spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots can minimize aggressive behavior.
Experience Level:
The L173b False Zebra Pleco is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Its specific dietary and environmental needs, along with the requirement for pristine water conditions, make it a challenging yet rewarding species for more experienced hobbyists.

Nice shoes!
Size: 11, Color: Black Full Grain
I bought them in black and I like them so much I will be buying the brown soon. They fit true to size and are comfortable and stylish. I like the clean simplicity. They're basically a dressy sneaker which is perfect for my job's 'dress code'. Yet they're stylish enough to be worn weekends or a night out. They seemed just a touch stiff out of the box but IMO that's completely normal and fine - after just a couple days of wearing them they are breaking in nicely. No complaints on that. They seem to be of very high quality and I'm very happy with them.
