The L110 Redfin Thrasher Pleco is a small, beautifully patterned pleco known for its dark body and striking reddish-orange fin highlights. This peaceful, nocturnal catfish thrives in well-oxygenated aquariums with moderate water flow, driftwood, caves, and shaded areas for hiding. A soft sandy or smooth gravel substrate helps protect its delicate underbelly. While it will graze on algae, it requires a mixed diet of sinking carnivore pellets, blanched vegetables, and protein-rich frozen foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. Stable, clean water with good filtration is essential for long-term health. It is best kept with peaceful community fish and other non-aggressive bottom dwellers.
