|
| Up Keep: |
Very adaptable and hardy. Water conditions are not critical. Aquarium should have planted areas with an open space for swimming. |
| Breeding: |
For best results keep a school of several males and females. They will pair up and after fertilization the female will clean a surface area in the tank like a leaf or rock. There she will place a few eggs. |
| Comments: |
Very popular catfish. They are hardy and great community
fish. They look very impressive in schools and an aquarist
should keep no less than 4 in an aquarium. They are bottom
feeders and will pick up scraps left by other fish. Great
for helping keep an aquarium clean and the ammonia level down. |
