L144 Lemon Blue Eye Bristlenose – A Stunning and Hardy Pleco for Your Aquarium

Add a burst of color and personality to your aquarium with the L144 Lemon Blue Eye Bristlenose Pleco. Known for its striking blue eyes and vibrant yellow-orange coloration, this beautiful pleco is a must-have for aquarists seeking a peaceful, efficient, and visually captivating bottom-dweller.

The L144 variant of the Bristlenose Pleco is unique, with its distinct lemon-yellow body that contrasts beautifully against its dark, spiny fins and bright blue eyes. Native to South America, this species is well-suited to a variety of freshwater tanks and is especially popular among pleco enthusiasts for its striking appearance and ease of care.

As a bottom feeder, the L144 Lemon Blue Eye Bristlenose is an excellent algae eater, helping to maintain a cleaner tank by scrubbing algae from rocks, glass, and decor. Despite its hardworking nature, it’s gentle and non-aggressive, making it a great companion for peaceful community tanks.

Key Features:

  • Vibrant Lemon-Orange Coloration: Bright yellow body accented by blue eyes, creating a stunning visual contrast in any tank

  • Peaceful & Docile Nature: Ideal for community setups with other non-aggressive species, as it’s calm and does not exhibit territorial behavior

  • Efficient Algae Eater: Actively scrubs surfaces of algae, helping to keep your tank clean and reducing the need for manual cleaning

  • Hardy and Easy to Care For: A resilient species that thrives in a variety of water conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists

Care Guidelines:

  • Tank Size: Minimum 20 gallons for one individual

  • Water Temp: 72–79°F (22–26°C)

  • pH Range: 6.5–7.5

  • Diet: Omnivorous – primarily algae, but will also accept sinking pellets, live/frozen foods, and occasional vegetables like zucchini and spinach

  • Lifespan: 5–10 years with proper care

Tip: While the L144 Lemon Blue Eye Bristlenose does well in a variety of tank setups, providing plenty of driftwood is essential for its health. The pleco will use the wood to help with digestion and to maintain its natural behaviors, such as scraping algae.

The L144 Lemon Blue Eye Bristlenose is not only a functional algae-eater but also an eye-catching addition to your aquarium. Its vibrant colors, peaceful nature, and hardworking habits make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their tank's beauty while maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
