Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a mature tank with driftwood, plants and gentle current. They need clean, stable water.
Feeding: They graze on algae. Also feed algae wafers and sinking pellets.
Tankmates: They are very peaceful and slow, so keep them with calm community fish that won't outcompete them for food.
Good to know: These thin catfish blend in perfectly with plant stems, so you may have to look closely to spot them.
