The L519 Honeycomb Bristlenose Pleco or L519 Rio Itenez Bristlenose Pleco, recently discovered in 2019, is considered a rare species of Ancistrus in the hobby. Native to the Río Iténez of Bolivia, they like slightly acidic/soft water and feed on vegetable matter. Their small size (maxing out around 3.5″) along with ornate honeycomb pattern has resulted in them being extremely sought after by aquarists.
