Snowball Orinoco Angel Pleco

Size: Approx 6-7cm

The L201 Snowball Pleco (Hypancistrus sp.), also known as the Orinoco Angel Pleco, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes.  Its black body with large white polka dots makes it a very striking fish for the planted or nano aquarium.

This species is native to the upper rio Negro basin in Amazonas state, Brazil and parts of the Casiquiare drainage, which links the Negro with the Río Orinoco, in Venezuela.

Best maintained in an aquarium designed to simulate a flowing stream with a substrate of variably-sized rocks, sand, fine gravel, and some water-worn boulders.

This can be further furnished with driftwood branches, terracotta pipes, plant pots, etc., arranged to form a network of nooks, crannies, shaded spots, and broken lines of sight.

Like many fishes that naturally inhabit running water it is intolerant to accumulation of organic pollutants and requires spotless water in order to thrive, therefore weekly water changes of 30-50% tank volume should be considered routine. A moderate-to-high proportion of dissolved oxygen and some water movement are also appreciated, meaning power filter(s), additional powerhead(s), or airstone(s) should be employed as necessary.

Diet:

Wild specimens are probably omnivorous but with a preference for aquatic invertebrates and other small animals.

In the aquarium it should be offered a varied diet comprising sinking dried foods, frozen Daphnia, mosquito larvae, chironomid larvae (bloodworm), and prawn/shrimp, plus some fresh fruit, parboiled potato, etc.

Behaviour:

A peaceful species which can be maintained in a well-chosen community, but should not be maintained alongside other Hypancistrus spp. in order to prevent hybridisation.

Sexual Dimorphism:

Adult males possess more odontodes on the leading pectoral-fin rays and interopercular region than females, plus they often show an overall reddish tone on the body whereas females do not.

Males are also more slender and less stocky than females, a difference which is easily observed when the fish are viewed dorsally.

Not my favorite.
Color: Medium Sand
I wanted to like this foundation, but it ended up being too drying on my skin. The finish looks chalky rather than smooth, which makes it hard to get a natural look. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work well for mE.

Azelaic Acid Sunscreen A MUST!!!! BEST sunscreen!!!
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
Finally!!!!! I have found a sunscreen that actually helps my skin!! I have tried so so so many! Around 25 different types! From $-$$$$! This one is so great! It is still a sunscreen and feels a bit of a sunscreen at first but once it has set it is amazing! I would absolutely recommend! I have acne prone, dry, sensitive skin and this has not broken me out isn't heavy and hasn't inflamed my skin. It has actually improved my skin. I like the lower list of ingredients as well. I use Retin-a 0.1% (at night) and use a moisturizer AM&PM (person and covey DMl) under this. I would say it isn't a stand alone moisturizer. Would recommend this! And will be buying another one once this one is out! Pros: Liquid/watery consistency Minimal ingredient list Works great with makeup Layers nicely No white cast Easy to remove Nice packaging Good price point Great for acne/acne prone skin Flaky skin approved Not shiny Actually helped my skin Azelaic acid Cons: Slightly like applying sunscreen at first
