Spotted Medusa Bristlenose Pleco require warmer temperatures and do best in planted tanks or biotopes which need  similar temperature requirements. They need a warm, clean, blackwater river-type biotope. Replicating this will make them fell cozy, but it is not required to keep them happy and healthy. These plecos usually remain solitary, but in a large enough tank, they will congregate around feeding time.
