Ancistrus, also known as bushynose or bristlenose catfish, is a genus of nocturnal freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, native to freshwater habitats in South America and Panama. The common Bristlenose is commonly captive bred appears impossible to identify to species primarily due to a lack of original locality information but also because tens of undescribed congeners exist. Ancistrus species show all the typical features of the Loricariidae. This includes a body covered in bony plates and a ventral suckermouth. The feature most commonly associated with the genus are the fleshy tentacles found on the head in adult males; females may possess tentacles along the snout margin but they are smaller and they lack tentacles on the head. Tentacules, tentacles directly associated with odontodes, develop on the pectoral fin spine of the males of some species. Sources: Wikipedia contributors. (2019, October 19). Ancistrus.

Common Whiptails (Rineloricaria spp.) are a group of freshwater catfish commonly kept in aquariums. They are native to South America, and are known for their long, slender bodies and whisker-like barbels. These catfish are generally peaceful and make good additions to community tanks, as they help keep the aquarium clean by feeding on algae and leftover food. In terms of care, they prefer aquariums with plenty of hiding places, moderate to strong water flow, and a sandy substrate. They are also hardy and can adapt to a range of water parameters.

The L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is a remarkably rare and colourful species that is now available as a tank-bred specimen and is a very manageable species for the home aquarium! The L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco (Panaqolus sp.) is an exceptionally colourful and rare loricariid (suckermouth catfish) species that has been successfully tank-bred commercially in just the last few years. Its bright orange and black striping are very distinguishable and among the most striking colourations of the hundreds of known plecos. Like many plecos, the L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco has generally been a wild-caught species, but we are proud to offer tank-raised juveniles of this beautiful fish at a fraction of the price of other stores! A generally peaceful and hardy species, the L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is an excellent, undemanding candidate for most aquariums. Unlike the widely-seen Common Pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) and Trinidad Pleco (Hypostomus punctatus), which easily reach a monstrous size of 18 to 20+ inches (45 to 51+ cm), the L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco grows to a maximum size of only around 5 inches (12.7 cm). This smaller size makes for a much more manageable (and less messy) pleco that can thrive permanently in a well-maintained aquarium as small as 30 to 40 gallons. Male plecos may be somewhat territorial with other males of their species, but disputes can usually be diffused by providing ample territory and hiding places for each fish. All other tank mates will be generally ignored, although it is possible that small shrimp fry might fall prey to the omnivorous L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco. The L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rocks, and other hiding places. Like its larger cousins of the Panaque genus, the L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is a "wood eating" pleco whose sucker mouth contains teeth that rasp biofilm from driftwood. It is ideal to have multiple driftwood pieces upon which this fish can graze, and at least some wood must be present at all times. The L397 Alenquer Tiger is not a particularly efficient algae eater, but its rasping habits may result in damage to ornamental plants, particularly in smaller tanks. It is possible that it would not do noticeable damage to more durable plants in a fairly large tank with plenty of driftwood. It will also appreciate being fed some fresh vegetables such as shelled peas, spinach, zucchini, and cucumber, or dry and frozen foods that are very rich in vegetable matter. What We Like About This Fish: An extremely beautiful, very peaceful, and hardy addition to almost any aquarium. At a maximum size of 5 inches, this is a very practical and manageable fish. Superb tank-bred juvenile specimens The L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco is an aquarium fish with a unique appearance as well as plenty of personality. RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: Temperature: 79° - 84° F (26° - 29° C) pH: 6.5 - 7.5 (flexible as long as sudden changes are avoided) KH: 6 - 10 dKH Minimum tank size: 30 gallons CARE GUIDELINES: Diet: Omnivorous, see above. Social behaviour: Generally solitary, but will socialise somewhat, especially during breeding. Origin: Tank-bred, but indigenous to Lower Amazon, South America. Average adult size: Up to 5 inches (12.7 cm) Average purchase size: .5 - 1.5 inches (1.2 - 3.5 cm)

OVERVIEW Otocinclus Arnoldi, or as they are also called Otos, Otto Cats and Ottos. They may be the best scavengers for freshwater aquariums! These little guys eat algae but should not be confused with other similar looking fish that we sell such as Chinese Algae Eaters, Siamese Flying Foxes and Siamese Algae Eaters so make sure to check that before making a purchase. Otocinclus Arnoldi is the friendliest and most adorable little fish you could keep in your aquarium. They’re so easy to care for, provide hours of entertainment with their inquisitive nature, and they eat up all that pesky algae before it can grow out of control! HABITAT Otos are native to South America and can be found east of the Andes throughout the lowlands from northern Venezuela to northern Argentina. They spend most of their time in schools, swimming through moderate-to-slow rivers with well-oxygenated water. BUYING HEALTHY OTOS Otos are a great addition to any tank, but they’re very fragile. To make sure you don't lose them before the end of their first year, it's important that you pick out healthy Otos from your local fish store- if possible try and take some advice on what breeds will work best for your aquarium. BEHAVIOR If you keep your Otos properly, they'll show a ton of activity and personality during the day. They're industrious workers that will spend most of their time sucking on rocks, leaves with algae growing or anything else in sight! It doesn’t matter which species of Otocinclus you own, they all require the same water conditions – low stock density and pristine water – depending on your water source, you may want to use an RO system. AQUARIUM There are many reasons why you should consider getting an aquarium. For one, they can be a great avenue for relaxation and stress relief while making your home feel more inviting. Having fish also helps to improve the quality of air in our homes by producing negative ions that combat positive ones (i.e., it freshens up the room). To make sure your tank is healthy and happy, follow these guidelines: - You'll need an aquarium filter capable of cycling at least four times per hour (GPH) and with mature nitrate levels between 0-20ppm - No measurable ammonia or nitrite should be present either.  - Otos prefer water with a stable pH that is slightly acidic (6-7.5).  - The temperature inside their tanks should average about 72°F - 82°F degrees Fahrenheit (~22 °C ~ 28 °C) which allows them to thrive year-round without sustaining damage from changes in heat level outside.  OTOCINCLUS Arnoldi SIZE The Otocinclus Arnoldi is a small fish that can grow to be about 1 ½ - 2 inches when fully mature. These quick and agile swimmers are able to dart from one end of the tank to another in an instant, making them ideal for smaller aquariums or tanks with slower-moving inhabitants. TANK MATES Otocinclus Arnoldi is known for being non-aggressive by nature. But because these tiny fish live in the wild, they have no means to protect themselves. If you choose tank mates wisely, then your Otos will be just fine! Otocinclus Arnoldi may not seem like much to look at with their small size and see-through skin but there is a reason why people keep them as pets; otos are peaceful little creatures that don't bother anybody or anything else in their home aquarium thanks to their lack of aggression which stems from living out on land without any natural predators where it has easy access food sources such as algae off rocks and plants around waterways. FEEDING Algae is the main food for Otos, but many aquariums can't produce enough to sustain them. If this happens in your tank, use algae wafers or Catfish pellets as a supplement. BREEDING Otos are hard to breed because you can't see a difference. But, female Otos tend to be larger and wider than males if you look closely enough for the little details. octocinclus

The Royal Farlowella (Sturisoma panamense), also known as the Twig or Whiptail Catfish, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes. While many suckermouth catfish species have yet to be bred on any major scale in aquariums, the Royal Farlowella has been bred by a few farms. This fish is highly unique with its very thin, twig-like appearance and the “streamer” extensions on its tail.The Royal Farlowella is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rock work, and other hiding places. It is not known to eat wood heavily like some suckermouth catfish (Panaque sp., etc.), but it may benefit from some supplementary wood (or rather the biofilm on driftwood) in its diet. The Royal Farlowella will not bother most plants, but it will eat plenty of algae in the aquarium, especially as a juvenile. Feed the Royal Farlowella a diet heavy in vegetable matter, including high-quality vegetable flakes, sinking algae wafers and pellets. It will also appreciate being fed some fresh vegetables such as shelled peas, spinach, zucchini and cucumber. Occasional meaty foods such as bloodworms are also beneficial when fed very sparingly. This fish eats constantly, so too much meat/animal protein in its diet can be unhealthy for the fish as well as the level of waste it produces in the aquarium. The Royal Farlowella is very peaceful and is compatible with most other non-aggressive fish and invertebrates. It is possible that larger specimens might eat very small dwarf shrimp, particularly their fry. However, many aquarists keep the Royal Farlowella with their shrimp colonies with no problems. The Royal Farlowella can reach a length of 8 inches, but it is a very thin fish that does not account for the bioload that many thicker fish of a similar length produce. What We Like About This Fish:The Royal Farlowella is a very peaceful and hardy addition to almost any aquarium.At a maximum size of 8 inches (20.3 cm), this is a very practical and manageable fish.This fish will not bother most plants, but it will likely help with algae control, especially as a juvenile. It will also scavenge and consume most uneaten fish food.Unique appearance as well as plenty of personality.RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:Temperature: 72° - 86° F (22° - 30° C)pH: 6.5 - 7.5KH: 6 - 10 dKHMinimum tank size: 30 gallonsImage by: http://www.tropical-fish-keeping.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/catfish-royalwhiptailcatfish.jpgReference: Aquatic Arts
