Tank 69
The L-95 Orange Cheek Pinecone Pleco (Pseudorinelepis cf. genibarbis) , is a freshwater fish species that is highly sought after by aquarium hobbyists for its unique appearance and active behavior. They have a dark brown or grey body with bright orange cheeks, dorsal fin and tail fin, and black spots on its body and fins. They have a flat, broad head and humpback with a prominent mouth. Unlike most other plecos, the L-95 Pleco has a swim bladder, causing it to still above the substrate. L-95 prefer a well-decorated tank with plenty of hiding spots and caves, and they are generally active during the night.
