L173b False Zebra Pleco Hypancistrus Sp 5cmOverview:
The L173b False Zebra Pleco, part of the Hypancistrus genus, is a captivating and sought-after species in the aquarium trade. Known for its stunning black and white striped pattern, which closely resembles that of a zebra, this pleco adds both beauty and intrigue to any freshwater setup. It is a smaller species of pleco, reaching a maximum length of about 3.5 to 4 inches, making it an ideal choice for aquarists with limited space.
Origin:
Native to the Amazon Basin in South America, the L173b False Zebra Pleco thrives in fast-flowing rivers and streams. Its natural habitat is characterized by rocky substrates and plenty of hiding spots among crevices, which should be mimicked in the home aquarium for its wellbeing.
Feeding:
The L173b is predominantly carnivorous, with a diet that should consist of high-quality sinking pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. While it may occasionally graze on algae and biofilm, it is important to supplement its diet with meaty foods for optimal health.
Tank Mates:
Ideal tank mates for the L173b False Zebra Pleco are peaceful and similarly sized fish. Avoid housing them with large, aggressive species. Good companions include tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids. Due to their territorial nature towards conspecifics, it's advisable to keep only one per tank or ensure ample space and hiding places if housing multiple.
Aggression:
This species exhibits a relatively peaceful demeanor towards other species but can become territorial with other bottom-dwellers, especially of its own kind. Providing a spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots can minimize aggressive behavior.
Experience Level:
The L173b False Zebra Pleco is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Its specific dietary and environmental needs, along with the requirement for pristine water conditions, make it a challenging yet rewarding species for more experienced hobbyists.

As advertised
Color: Green Orange
Did exactly what they needed. Made the remote slightly larger so it is easier to use and less slippery.

Pretty good...
Color: Red
Red color is kind of an orange-red. Hm... Came with some kind of dust on it. Once cleaned off it's not as slippery, yet still slips on just fine. Protects the remote - and your hands from the remote's hard edges. The raised bumps on the back make it easier to pickup - without digging your fingernails into cushions or carpets as you "scoop."

Very handy to have to spot them easily
Color: Dark Blue
Love the cases, have a different color on each rooms tv. Hopefully it will protect from a drop as that is what prompted me to buy it. We cracked the screen on our last remote and they are expensive to replace. Good price
