👑 Queen Arabesque Plecostomus (Hypancistrus sp. L260) – Striking, Rare & Peaceful Bottom Dweller

The Queen Arabesque Plecostomus (Hypancistrus sp. L260) is a stunningly patterned dwarf pleco adored by aquarists worldwide for its intricate black and white maze-like markings. Native to the fast-flowing Rio Tapajós in Brazil, this rare Loricariid species is both a work of natural art and a gentle addition to peaceful aquariums. 🌿🐠

Unlike larger common plecos, the Queen Arabesque stays compact, making it ideal for community and planted tanks. They prefer soft, oxygen-rich water with driftwood, caves, and plenty of hiding spaces. Their unique beauty and calm demeanor make them a favorite among Pleco collectors and aquascaping enthusiasts. ✨
