L137 Blue Eyed Red Fin Pleco - 2-3" Unsexed Rio Tapajos. Remarks: The L137 blue eyed red fin pleco is a beautiful and uncommon species of Hypostomus from Brazil. Like others in the same genus, they have high backs, tall dorsal fins, and spoon-shaped teeth that aid them in grazing on algae and plant matter. The color of this species is variable with their bodies ranging from a soft gray to a warm brown, accented by their fins that can be anywhere from a dark brownish-red to a burnt orange. Sometimes these fins even have spots. These fins along with their striking blue eyes give them their common name. The second half of their scientific name, soniae , was given in honor of loricariid expert, Sonia Fisch-Muller who took part in its discovery. In the aquarium, the L137 blue eyed red fin pleco can be a great choice for an algae-eater to live alongsi. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
