Care notes

Keep L471 Mini Snowball Plecos in warm, stable, oxygen-rich water with small caves, shaded cover, and low nitrate. Target 78-84 F, pH 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. Feed a protein-rich Hypancistrus diet of sinking carnivore or insect pellets, gel foods, and occasional frozen foods, with a small amount of algae or vegetable food for variety. They stay compact but still need clean water and enough caves to reduce competition.
