L168 Butterfly Pleco Zonancis Brachyurus 6cmOverview:
The L168 Butterfly Pleco, known scientifically as Zonancistrus brachyurus, is a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. Renowned for its unique wing-like pectoral fins and intricate patterning, this small to medium-sized pleco brings both beauty and utility to your tank by actively grazing on algae.
Origin:
Native to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of Venezuela, the Butterfly Pleco has adapted to environments with strong currents, clear waters, and rocky substrates. This origin plays a crucial role in their care and habitat requirements in captivity.
Feeding:
Omnivorous by nature, the L168 requires a varied diet to thrive. Algae and biofilm form the staple of their diet, but they should be supplemented with vegetable-based foods and occasional protein-rich treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms. Sinking algae wafers and blanched vegetables like zucchini or cucumber are excellent dietary additions.
Tank Mates:
Being peaceful and somewhat shy, the Butterfly Pleco does well with a wide range of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized, peaceful fish. Avoid overly aggressive species that may stress or harm your pleco.
Aggression:
The L168 is generally peaceful and poses little threat to other tank inhabitants. However, like many plecos, they can be territorial towards their own kind or similar species, especially in smaller tanks. Providing ample hiding spots and space can mitigate territorial disputes.
Experience Level:
Suitable for intermediate aquarists, the L168 Butterfly Pleco requires some knowledge of its specific care needs, particularly in terms of water flow, diet, and tank setup to mimic its natural habitat.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 76°F - 86°F (24°C - 30°C)
- pH: 6.5 - 7.5
- Hardness: 6-10 dGH
- Strong water flow and high oxygenation are essential to replicate their natural riverine habitats.

Good coverage
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen and when applied liberally my face doesn't get burnt. That has always been a problem with my skin all my life so I'm happy for that sort of coverage.
The formula is a little greasy and there is a white caste but I use it to my advantage as it dims the red spots on my face and brightens my under eye. I try not to leave the house without applying.

Very glowy

I just opened this to try it so I can't speak on if it breaks me out but the expiration date is good it doesn't expire until next summer. It's not thick at all very liquid actually but not a messy. I skipped moisturizer today to see how the hydration will be. I have severe dry skin so we will see. Very oily, glowy, moisturizing. I used it on my face and arms. It left a beautiful glow on my face so we will see how long it's takes to soak in. No strong smell which is nice and it's a large bottle!

Very moisturizing but clogged my pores
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like the texture of this sunscreen a lot, and it gives me a nice glow. However, it did cause me to break out a lot with small whiteheads so I had to discontinue using it.
