Royal Broken Line Pleco (L191) – Sleek Stripes with Wild Elegance
The Royal Broken Line Pleco (L191) is a bold and beautifully armored pleco known for its deep olive-green to dark brown body and irregular, broken pale lines that give it a rugged, wild appearance. Often confused with other royal varieties, L191 stands out with its more erratic, fragmented line pattern and streamlined body shape.
Originating from the rivers of Colombia, especially the Rio Caquetá and Rio Guaviare, the L191 prefers soft, slightly acidic water with good oxygenation. Like other members of the royal pleco group, it is a wood-eater and should be provided with ample driftwood for grazing and digestion. Though peaceful, it can be territorial with other plecos.
