Natural Behaviour
L144 Long Fin Blue Eye Lemon Plecos are peaceful bottom-dwelling fish that spend much of their day grazing on algae, biofilm and leftover food throughout the aquarium.
They enjoy caves, driftwood and shaded areas where they can rest during the day before becoming more active during the evening.
Their graceful long fins and calm temperament make them one of the most attractive Bristlenose Plecos available.
Aquarium Requirements
For the best long-term health, we recommend:
- Aquarium Size: 80 litres or larger
- Temperature: 24–28°C
- pH: 6.5–7.8
- Water: Soft to moderately hard
- Excellent filtration
- Regular water changes
- Plenty of driftwood and hiding places
Natural driftwood is highly recommended as it supports healthy digestion and encourages natural grazing behaviour.
Feeding
L144 Long Fin Blue Eye Lemon Plecos are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet including:
- High-quality algae wafers
- Pleco sinking wafers
- Spirulina foods
- Courgette (zucchini)
- Cucumber
- Green beans
- Peas
- Pumpkin
- Sweet potato
- Frozen bloodworm
- Frozen brine shrimp
- Protein-rich foods
A varied diet helps maintain excellent health, vibrant colouration and supports healthy fin development and breeding condition.
Breeding
L144 Long Fin Blue Eye Lemon Plecos are relatively easy to breed in captivity.
When provided with suitable caves, stable water conditions and a nutritious diet, mature pairs will regularly spawn.
The male guards and fans the eggs until they hatch, making them fascinating fish to observe.
Their combination of long, flowing fins and bright yellow colour makes them especially desirable for breeders and collectors.

L144 Long Fin Blue Eye Lemon Plecos are peaceful and suitable with many community fish, including:
- Corydoras
- Tetras
- Rasboras
- Rainbowfish
- Gouramis
- Angelfish
- Peaceful dwarf cichlids
- Freshwater shrimp
- Other peaceful plecos
Avoid aggressive or very large species that may damage their delicate long fins.
