Description
The Green Phantom Plec is a stunning bright green-yellow suckermouth catfish, suitable for large, matures of water aquaria. In the wild, they are found in the cracks/interstices between granite rocks amongst fast-flowing waters. These fish therefore require decent current and a good level of oxygenation within the home aquarium, particularly important when maintaining these fish at the top of their preferred temperature range. Provide plenty of rockwork and create numerous shady caves for the fish to hide amongst. Try to ensure that the strongest areas of current flow through these hiding places, as this would be where these fish reside in their natural environment. Bogwood is not strictly necessary, although it may make the tank look more aesthetically pleasing. Larger specimens will uproot plants, so if these are desired, opt for robust species such as Anubias or Java Fern as these can be attached to the decor.
