L168 Butterfly Pleco Zonancis Brachyurus 6cmOverview:
The L168 Butterfly Pleco, known scientifically as Zonancistrus brachyurus, is a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. Renowned for its unique wing-like pectoral fins and intricate patterning, this small to medium-sized pleco brings both beauty and utility to your tank by actively grazing on algae.
Origin:
Native to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of Venezuela, the Butterfly Pleco has adapted to environments with strong currents, clear waters, and rocky substrates. This origin plays a crucial role in their care and habitat requirements in captivity.
Feeding:
Omnivorous by nature, the L168 requires a varied diet to thrive. Algae and biofilm form the staple of their diet, but they should be supplemented with vegetable-based foods and occasional protein-rich treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms. Sinking algae wafers and blanched vegetables like zucchini or cucumber are excellent dietary additions.
Tank Mates:
Being peaceful and somewhat shy, the Butterfly Pleco does well with a wide range of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized, peaceful fish. Avoid overly aggressive species that may stress or harm your pleco.
Aggression:
The L168 is generally peaceful and poses little threat to other tank inhabitants. However, like many plecos, they can be territorial towards their own kind or similar species, especially in smaller tanks. Providing ample hiding spots and space can mitigate territorial disputes.
Experience Level:
Suitable for intermediate aquarists, the L168 Butterfly Pleco requires some knowledge of its specific care needs, particularly in terms of water flow, diet, and tank setup to mimic its natural habitat.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 76°F - 86°F (24°C - 30°C)
- pH: 6.5 - 7.5
- Hardness: 6-10 dGH
- Strong water flow and high oxygenation are essential to replicate their natural riverine habitats.

Ideal - Organized and Many Plug-in Options
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Just what I was looking for at the bottom side of my bed stand to keep 5-7 cords organized and the area clean, .... clock, lamp, chargers, infarred heating pads, and other plug-ins and charger cords as needed.

Needs better hardware
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Yoooooo great product but what is with the comically tiny screws? Actually installing this on the underside of a wooden desk is near impossible unless, of course, you are in fact a Disney princess and in charge of a team of handy-dandy mice all with #0 Phillips head screwdrivers and 5/32" drill bits. They drill, you hold, kind of thing.

Great for cable management
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
If you are obsessed with keeping cables neatly organized for your desk, this is the perfect power strip to get. It comes with decent enough screws for mounting that will hold the weight of all the cords you plug in. The outlets on all three sides is very convenient and makes it a snap to fit all your devices in even with some having very large adapters on the plugs, which often take up a majority of the power strip. I have already purchased a couple more so I can organize my wife's desk and one of my kid's desks.
