Sapu-sapu: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

Sebenarnya sapu-sapu mencakup banyak jenis anggota Loricariidae, meskipun yang paling umum dikenal adalah ''[[Hypostomus plecostomus]]''. Karena banyaknya impor berbagai macam sapu-sapu, dan banyak sekali yang belum diidentifikasi secara benar, disusunlah suatu daftar sapu-sapu yang disebut nomor-L (''[[L-number]]'') untuk mencirikannya secara sementara.

 

<!-- As they age, their foreheads enlarge when they get bigger in a peculiar manner. ''Plecos'' may become more territorial with age and are best kept individually in tanks. Because of their potentially large size and territorial behaviour, it may be advisable to procure a less aggressive catfish. In a suitably large tank, a solitary ''plecostomus'' will live amicably enough in a community alongside other tropical fish. These catfish may survive in tanks with "cold-water" species like [[goldfish]], but it is generally not advised due to the different temperature preferences and the fact that some plecos will suck the protective slime coat off the goldfish. This however would indicate your pleco is starving and seeking the algae stuck to the slime coat.
