The L200 Green Phantom Pleco is a highly sought-after species due to its beautiful green coloration.

The L200 Green Phantom Pleco (Hemiancistrus Subviridis) is a classic suckermouth catfish species that is native to the Rio Orinoco in Colombia and Venezuela. It is a popular pleco species for any aquarium due to the striking striking green color with white dots. It inhabits fast flowing, oxygen rich waterways in the wild, so a bit of extra flow in the home aquarium is appreciated, but not required. This pleco can be housed with a wide array of tankmates including community fish, as well as semi-aggressive cichlids.

The L200 Green Phantom Pleco (Hemiancistrus Subviridis) will be a bit timid at first, but once settled in it will regularly come out during the daytime. While it is omnivorous and an excellent algae eater, the Green Phantom Pleco appreciates a varied diet. That being said, frozen foods such as bloodworms and mysis shrimp should be fed along with your typical algae wafer or pellet. This pleco also grows to a very manageable size, so a large aquarium is not required.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
