L397)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L397 Red Tiger Pleco is a stunning and highly sought-after freshwater catfish, admired for its warm orange-red coloration, intricate tiger-like markings, and compact, heavily armored body. Native to the Rio Tapajós region of Brazil, this beautiful pleco is prized by aquarists for its unique appearance, peaceful temperament, and fascinating natural behaviors. Its vibrant coloration and manageable size make it an excellent choice for planted aquariums, river-style setups, and specialized pleco collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Tiger Plecos are peaceful, nocturnal fish that spend much of their time exploring caves, driftwood, and rocky areas throughout the aquarium. During the day, they often remain hidden in shaded areas, becoming more active in the evening as they forage and investigate their surroundings. They are generally calm with other fish but may become mildly territorial with other bottom-dwellers, especially when competing for caves or preferred resting areas. Providing multiple hiding spots helps reduce stress and encourages natural behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beautiful plecos thrive in well-maintained aquariums with excellent filtration, strong oxygenation, and plenty of natural décor. Driftwood is especially important for Panaqolus species, as they naturally rasp on wood as part of their digestive process. Caves, smooth rocks, and shaded areas help recreate their natural habitat while providing security. A balanced diet consisting of quality sinking herbivore pellets, algae wafers, vegetables such as zucchini and cucumber, wood fiber, and occasional protein-rich foods like frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp will help maintain their health and vibrant coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Territorial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–5 inches (10–13 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76–82°F (24–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbivore \/ Omnivore (wood-grazing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e No, best kept singly or in small groups with adequate territory and hiding spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their fiery red coloration, unique tiger patterning, and peaceful personality, L397 Red Tiger Plecos are an exceptional choice for aquarists seeking a rare and attractive bottom-dweller that brings natural beauty, character, and fascinating behavior to the freshwater aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fintastic Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48918810755264,"sku":"sft1788061216937","price":34.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7718\/7264\/files\/l397-red-tiger-pleco_1.jpg?v=1788061226"},{"product_id":"juli-corydora","title":"Juli Corydora","description":"\u003ch3\u003eJulii Corydoras (Corydoras julii)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Julii Corydoras is a peaceful and active bottom-dwelling catfish prized for its intricate spotted pattern and charming personality.
