It took a while for the worldwide Pleco community to realize that there were two different species exported from Colombia as L200. The original one, Hemiancistrus subviridis, is more common in the trade. B.demantoides, often called L200 “hi-fin”, is rarer. B.demantoides is a very beautiful Pleco with it's yellow/brown colours, and once settled it's also a hardy aquarium inhabitant if given proper conditions. They will eat your Swordpants though.
B.demantoides is very similar to Hemiancistrus subviridis (L200), which it lives syntopic with in the wild. They can be told apart by looking at the dorsal fin; in B.demantoides there is a membrane that connects the dorsal and adipose fin. If you look at their mouth, B.demantoides has a less circular mouth than H.subviridis.
L200 “hi fin” are true vegetarians, and should be fed a varied diet of vegetables and pellets containing much green matter. Some frozen foods and more meat-based dry food can be offered occasionally. B.demantoides does not grow as large as it's Brazilian Baryancistrus cousins, but should still be offered a roomy tank. Clean, well filtered, oxygen rich, warm water is required. Breeding has occurred, but is rare. The male, recognized by it's heavier odontodal growth and wider head, guards the clutch in a suitable cave.

Q: I just completed my order, what's next?
A: Before shipment, we quarantine all fish for at least 24-48 hours. During this period, we closely monitor the fish to make sure they are healthy. We also do not feed them during this time in order to 'clean out' their digestive system and limit their ability to soil the water. This helps reduce the amount of waste in the bag and will keep the water clean.
Q: When can I expect my order to be ship?
A: Please see Chart below (No Shipping on Holiday)
