Snowball Orinoco Angel Pleco

Size: Approx 6-7cm

The L201 Snowball Pleco (Hypancistrus sp.), also known as the Orinoco Angel Pleco, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes.  Its black body with large white polka dots makes it a very striking fish for the planted or nano aquarium.

This species is native to the upper rio Negro basin in Amazonas state, Brazil and parts of the Casiquiare drainage, which links the Negro with the Río Orinoco, in Venezuela.

Best maintained in an aquarium designed to simulate a flowing stream with a substrate of variably-sized rocks, sand, fine gravel, and some water-worn boulders.

This can be further furnished with driftwood branches, terracotta pipes, plant pots, etc., arranged to form a network of nooks, crannies, shaded spots, and broken lines of sight.

Like many fishes that naturally inhabit running water it is intolerant to accumulation of organic pollutants and requires spotless water in order to thrive, therefore weekly water changes of 30-50% tank volume should be considered routine. A moderate-to-high proportion of dissolved oxygen and some water movement are also appreciated, meaning power filter(s), additional powerhead(s), or airstone(s) should be employed as necessary.

Diet:

Wild specimens are probably omnivorous but with a preference for aquatic invertebrates and other small animals.

In the aquarium it should be offered a varied diet comprising sinking dried foods, frozen Daphnia, mosquito larvae, chironomid larvae (bloodworm), and prawn/shrimp, plus some fresh fruit, parboiled potato, etc.

Behaviour:

A peaceful species which can be maintained in a well-chosen community, but should not be maintained alongside other Hypancistrus spp. in order to prevent hybridisation.

Sexual Dimorphism:

Adult males possess more odontodes on the leading pectoral-fin rays and interopercular region than females, plus they often show an overall reddish tone on the body whereas females do not.

Males are also more slender and less stocky than females, a difference which is easily observed when the fish are viewed dorsally.

Gorgeous scarf
Color: Grey Melange
Very soft good quality cashmere. I've ordered some items that claim to be cashmere that are either not cashmere at all, or just poor quality. This scarf, by Style Republic, is excellent. It's exactly what cashmere SHOULD be but often isn't, when purchased online. The scarf is gorgious, feels great on, just a really nice every day scarf for cold weather Suitable for men or women--I love it, my husband loves it. recommended!

Super Soft, But Pricy
Color: Black, Color: Black
I have other cashmere items, and this feels the same. Super soft, no itch at all... just a great fabric for skin contact. Mine measures about 69 inches long. To put some other reviews into context, when many of us early reviewers got this, the item's product page title was, "Style Republic Men's 100% Cashmere Extra Long Scarf" - It now says, "Style Republic Men's Solid Colored 100% Pure Cashmere Scarf | 20" x 68" inches" which is more accurate. Apart from that early description issue, there really isn't anything wrong with this scarf. For cashmere, this is an good price for how much fabric is used, and the workmanship is good. The tags are really easy to remove, as they're looped on with just a couple strands. Thank you so much for that!

So soft perfect for cold weather
Color: Nougat
This is a great scarf, definitely could be used for either men or women. I got the Nougat color, so it could go with different colors, and it’s gorgeous beige. I’m heading into colder climate this winter and I needed something that would be warm. My girlfriend also really likes it and she has been asking to wear it! It came in just a regular plastic packaging, and I wish it was packaged a little nicer for such a beautiful scarf. It is on the longer side, so you could wrap it a few times around you if you’re a shorter person. Definitely worth the get!

Black Cashmere Scarf
Color: Black
This is an extra long black cashmere scarf. It could be a men's/women's product but is sold as a men's scarf. It is 20" x 68" and has a very soft feel. It can be doubled if you want it thicker. I'm happy with the quality and appearance of this scarf.
