Appropriate Home. An aquarium with an exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of gravel, and an aquarium heater adjusted to between 72 and 80 degrees.
Plecostomus Catfish can tolerate cooler water, perhaps down to 65 degrees F., provided the water temperature decreases gradually over a period of days.
Recommended Diet. Floating Flake Food for Tropical Fish. Plecostomus will actually swim upside down at the surface of the water to eat floating flake food, which is available in most stores that sell pet fish.
Hikari makes sinking foods specifically for bottom feeding catfish. This food is very good for Plecostomus and is available in most stores that sell pet fish. Always be very careful not to feed more than your fish can eat quickly, because uneaten food will spoil and pollute the aquarium water.
Plecostomus Catfish do not seem to eat worms such as Black Worms.
