Detailed Description:

This is not a large catfish but must still be respected. It has a very large mouth. This fish will most likely be in-active most of the time.
The habitat should be rocky with plenty of plants. Take care when using sharp substrates as the fish may damage it's mouth and surrounding areas. It may be kept with it's own species as long as enough territory is provided for each. Never keep them with smaller fish, they will be eaten. These are nocturnal species so a lesser amount of light is required. Floating plants or dimming lights may be used. Driftwood is also wise.

Feed sinking, Carnivorous foods.

Breeding and sexing are unknown.
