L239 Blue Panaque Pleco (Baryancistrus beggini) 2.5"

The L239 Blue Panaque displays striking coloration ranging from deep cobalt to jet black, with iridescent blue shimmer most visible under proper lighting—particularly in the dorsal and caudal fins. Color intensity varies among individuals. This species demands pristine conditions and thrives in a river-simulation setup with varied substrate, rocks, boulders, and driftwood. Attach hardy plants like Microsorum or Anubias for aufwuchs grazing. Maintain strong water movement via canister filters and powerheads, perform 40-70% weekly water changes, and ensure excellent oxygenation. Best kept singly or with small, non-competitive fish. Sensitive to organic waste accumulation, this pleco requires experienced aquarists committed to meticulous water quality management.
