Description
Remarks: The L102 True Inspector Pleco is one of the largest Hypancistrus species but is still only considered to be a medium sized pleco. Their bodies are black and covered in white spots with a black coloration along the edges of their fins. The “inspector” part of their name is in reference to the species having rather large eyes. Being a mostly carnivorous pleco, they appreciate a protein heavy diet with occasional frozen-thawed foods such as bloodworms.
