| Comments: |
I have 2 clarias catfish in my tank with 4 plecos(3 of
which are just over an inch, a suncatfish and a clown
knifefish. They do spend most of their day laying at the
bottom of my tank, but i call the dogs as they have their
made half hours swimming around like nutters. I would
recommend these fish to everyone. |
