Detailed Description:

This is a tough hardy catfish variety. It is armored for good protection and is adaptive to many conditions. Water quality is less important than with other fish.
The most important factor in keeping this fish is to provide plenty of space with a 55 gallon aquarium being the minimum. Don't let it's size fool you, it needs space.

Unfortunately, this species is hard to find and if found will most likely bring a hefty price.

As a scavenger this catfish species will readily accept various foods. Insects of some kind should be offered periodically.

Breeding habits are unknown.
