💚 Green Phantom Pleco (Hemiancistrus subviridis, L200)
Olive Green • Yellow Fins • Rare
 
📋 The Green Phantom Pleco (Hemiancistrus subviridis, L200) is one of the most visually unique L-numbers, with a deep green to olive body and bright yellow fin edges. Native to fast-flowing tributaries of the Rio Orinoco and Rio Ventuari, this pleco requires highly oxygenated water and strong currents.
Reaching 6–8 inches, the Green Phantom Pleco is peaceful toward fish but territorial with other plecos, especially of similar size. It thrives in aquariums with driftwood, caves, rocky hiding places, and strong filtration. Its bold color contrast makes it a collector’s favorite that pairs beautifully with the Blue Phantom Pleco (L128).
