Transform your aquarium with the L260 Queen Arabesque Pleco (Hypancistrus sp. ‘L260’), a stunning, highly sought-after species renowned for its intricate black and white patterns. Sometimes called the Queen Arabesque Pleco, L260 Pleco, or Queen Arabesque Hypancistrus, this dwarf pleco stands out for its manageable size, striking markings, and peaceful temperament. It’s a favorite for aquascapers, pleco collectors, and anyone looking for a rare centerpiece fish for their freshwater tank.

Native to the clear, fast-flowing rivers of Brazil’s Rio Tapajós basin, the L260 Queen Arabesque Pleco boasts an elegant, maze-like black and white pattern that covers its entire body and fins. These unique markings not only offer outstanding visual appeal but also help the fish blend in with rockwork and driftwood in a natural aquascape.

The Queen Arabesque Pleco stays compact, reaching an adult size of 3.5–4 inches (9–10 cm), making it perfect for nano and mid-sized aquariums. Its slender body, bold arabesque pattern, and striking contrast make it a showpiece pleco that instantly elevates the look of any planted or decorative tank.

The L260 Pleco is peaceful and shy, often spending daylight hours tucked into caves, driftwood, or among dense plants. It becomes more active at dusk and night, grazing on biofilm and searching for food. Queen Arabesque Plecos do well in community aquariums with other small, peaceful fish such as Tetras, Rasboras, Dwarf Cichlids, and Corydoras. Avoid keeping with large, aggressive species or territorial bottom dwellers.

Stylish & functional
Color: Retro, Color: Retro
This remote holder is great! 5 sections to place things. I have room for 3 remotes & 2 additional things. I discovered it’s the perfect place to store my glasses. I only use this pair to watch tv at night, but previously I could never find where I left them. No worries about that now! My nightstand is way less cluttered now & I don’t have to worry about my dogs ruining my glasses or running off with the remote!

Great for Minimalist Design!!!
Color: Grey
These really help keep us tidy!! The material is nice and it's not so big that it looks cluttered. It's located on a small end table between my husband and myself. It holds nail clippers, 2 remotes, pens, scissors, ear buds, and a charger. I bought another to have on the other end table.

The color and the design are just awesome.
PAID $7.51 After taxes. I was so happy when I received this with the color and the roomy slots for the remote controls that I ordered a second one. I really love the color and design on the remote control holder it is really beautiful. I just couldn't turn down buying a second one that can be used in my bedroom at such a cheap price. I doubt that this price will stay the same for long. I bought this in March 2024.
