Information: |
When mature, males have
a thicker snout and sports odontodes (hair like appendages), you
can run your hand down this and feel if it is a male as females
do not carry this trait, and also their snout is somewhat slimmer.
Although growing large this is an inoffensive fish and as such,
robust tank mates should be avoided. Water parameters will need
to be at the highest quality to keep this catfish in good health.
Feed vegetable food such as algae, cucumber, courgette (zucchini),
spinach, lettuce and peas but will also eat other foods in the aquarium. |
