L398 Tiger Pleco Panaqola Tankei SP 5cm

Overview: The L398 Tiger Pleco, scientifically known as Panaqolus tankei SP, is a captivating and somewhat rare species in the aquarium hobby. Renowned for its striking coloration and patterns, this pleco adds a touch of elegance and intrigue to any freshwater tank. Typically, it features a dark body adorned with vibrant orange or yellow stripes, mimicking the appearance of a tiger's coat. Adult sizes are manageable, making them suitable for a variety of aquarium sizes.

Origin: Native to the fast-flowing, clear waters of South America, particularly in parts of the Amazon Basin, the L398 Tiger Pleco thrives in environments with plenty of hiding spots and a strong current.

Feeding: This species is primarily herbivorous, requiring a diet rich in plant-based foods. High-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables should constitute the bulk of their diet. Occasional offerings of protein, such as bloodworms or brine shrimp, can provide variety.

Tank Mates: L398 Tiger Plecos are generally peaceful and can be housed with a wide range of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized, non-aggressive fish. They do well in a community tank setting as long as competition for food is minimized.

Aggression: This species is relatively peaceful but can show territorial behavior towards other bottom dwellers, especially other plecos. Providing ample space and hiding spots can reduce aggression.

Experience Level: Due to their specific care requirements, including the need for clean, well-oxygenated water and a specialized diet, L398 Tiger Plecos are best suited for aquarists with some experience. Beginners willing to research and commit to their care may also find success.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard
  • It is crucial to maintain high water quality and stable parameters to keep these plecos healthy.
Keeping the L398 Tiger Pleco requires a commitment to recreating their natural habitat and meeting their dietary needs. However, for those willing to put in the effort, the L398 offers a unique and rewarding addition to the aquarium.

Monkee-doodle loves that it has a crinkle sound when playing tug-of -war
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Yellow), Size: Large
Monkee-doodle likes this toy because it has a squeaker and it also has a crinkle noise maker inside. She loves playing with the toy and it’s easy to spot since it is bright yellow in color. It is suitable for dogs and doesn’t have any pieces that can come loose and harm your pet.

Love it.
Color: Bunny (Beige), Size: Large
Good quality and well worth the price. My dog loves it. The squeaky part is fun, and the crinkly, tear-resistant paper in the ears makes playtime even more exciting.

Great for my aggressive chewers
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Wears my Labs out. Fred the yellow lab chooses this pig ear over all his nyla and natural chews out of the toy box all the time. This is the 4th one in his 6 years. They have lasted long and when new are large enough I don’t have to worry about choking. As they get down in size I throw them just as a precaution. The only con I can think of is Fred loves to slam it down on the pergola floor which makes for a very loud clacky sound and it scares the $%^ out of me. He of course thinks it’s funny so he picks it up and continues to do it. As long as he and his brother Willie can chew I will always have these in their toy box.
