Nocturnal South American catfish, peaceful and discreet
Trachelyopterus fisheri is a small South American catfish that lives close to the bottom and among roots. It is ideal for a calm community aquarium with hiding places and shaded areas.
A peaceful, nocturnal and rather solitary species. It likes to hide among roots and rocks. Provide a tank of at least 120 L with moderate filtration (external filter) and a fine substrate.
Opportunistic carnivore: bloodworms, Artemia, shrimp and sinking pellets. See our range of foods for bottom-dwelling fish.
Add roots, caves and stones to mimic its natural habitat. Dim lighting (aquarium lighting) is recommended.
