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.

Ya Just Gotta Have One
Size: 7.2 Surround + 3 HDMI
This is a must-have for in-wall wiring of your surround. I chose this one because I installed a 7.2 system with gold-plated jacks and it worked out great. You can get almost any combination of HDMI, subs/surrounds that you need (5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2 etc). Do your planning on location and wire-routing; get good quality speaker wire and HDMI (high-speed with Audio Return Channel); get the remod-style mounting bracket/box then cut your hole at the same height/level as your electrical outlets and preferably between the same studs as your TV's wire-box so your HDMIs just run straight up to the TV (remember to install the bracket BEFORE you run your wires). When connecting the wires to these terminals, it's best to have 10 to 12 inches of wire coming out of the wall because you need space for your hands to manipulate the wires and nuts on the terminals. If you have a basement with access to the floor below the mounting location, it's best to drill 4 half-inch holes straight up through the bottom plate of the wall and feed your wires up those holes. Tip: If your TV and Surround Receiver are fully compatible you really only need 1 HDMI port on the wall plate, because you can plug your devices into the receiver and just sent the A/V/data to the TV while the audio is returned over the same HDMI.

Made a wire nest look fairly neat.
Size: 7.1 Surround + HDMI
My only complaint is that it wasn't available in black as it's in a dark walled home theater. However, it's behind the receiver so it's not real visible. It worked as expected and definitely kept the wiring neater and allowed me to run it through the walls.
