Description
The Para Plec is a beautiful suckermouth catfish species suitable for large, mature softwater aquaria. In the wild, these shy bottom dwellers live amongst rocky substrates in fast flowing rivers and therefore require decent current and a good level of oxygenation within the aquarium. Provide plenty of hiding places amongst low, smooth, rocky caves and driftwood, and try to ensure that reasonable current flows through these shelters. Plants are not strictly necessary, although they may make the tank look more aesthetically pleasing; however try to choose robust species, preferably those that can be tied to wood and not uprooted by digging.
