Information: |
The Scobinancistrus
genera have an unusual dentition. They have 3 to 4 teeth in each
half of the upper jaw and the same in the lower jaw. Similar
to Scobinancistrus pariolispos and may be a variant of
this species. Aquarium Care: This fish
is an ideal addition to a large 5ft. or over aquarium containing
such fish as South American cichlids, discus and angelfish, just
as long as the other occupants are not too aggressive and can withstand
the higher water temperatures, but they will get noticeably territorial
as they mature. Sexual Diffences: The males have
a broader head and longer bristles on the pectoral fin spines. Diet:
Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes sinking foods
such as catfish pellets, frozen bloodworm and any other good quality
foods which sink to the substrate. These catfish also have a preference
to feed upon meatier foods such as dead fish, mussels and prawns.
