This is a nocturnal
catfish that has a tendency to hide among rocky formations.
Adding these type of formations would be a good idea. Plant
formations wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Because it is a nocturnal species the aquarium environment should
be dimly lit. You can use lower wattage bulbs or subdue the light
by covering the surface with floating plants.
While young this species tends to live near shore in low level
waters. As it ages it tends to migrate towards deeper water.
It is not recommended to keep smaller fish with this catfish.
Only keep one with fish of equal or greater size.
Sexing is unknown.
Breeding behavior is unknown. |
