L260\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the most sought-after dwarf plecos in the aquarium hobby. Famous for its intricate maze-like pattern of cream and white lines across a dark body, this stunning pleco resembles a living work of art. Its unique markings, compact size, and peaceful temperament make it a prized addition to planted aquariums and rare fish collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Rio Tapajós basin in Brazil, the Queen Arabesque Pleco remains relatively small compared to many other pleco species, making it ideal for community aquariums and dedicated pleco setups. It spends much of its time exploring driftwood, caves, and rocky structures, emerging to graze and forage throughout the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many algae-focused plecos, the L260 requires a more protein-rich diet. High-quality sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods, bloodworms, and brine shrimp help maintain optimal health and vibrant patterning. Providing plenty of hiding places and excellent water quality will ensure this remarkable pleco thrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore (Protein-rich diet preferred)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 Litres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26°C to 30°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 to 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose a Queen Arabesque L260 Pleco?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStunning maze-like arabesque pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly sought-after collector's pleco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size ideal for smaller aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful and community-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for planted tanks and aquascapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent choice for pleco enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Glass And Gill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53817167413542,"sku":"RT-614","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/9810\/0774\/files\/eshwater_81821320-01e9-4c4c-8bb1-213f19961e22.png?v=1788533199","url":"https:\/\/www.glassandgill.co.za\/products\/queens-arabesque-l260-pleco","provider":"Glass And Gill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
