Stone Catfish

Stone catfish, also called the dwarf anchor catfish for the shape of their body, are small scavengers that will do well with any fish that cannot eat them. These are great nano tank and planted tank additions as they will not eat fancy shrimp and other smaller tank mates.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a sand or fine gravel bottom, leaf litter and smooth stones. They like cool, clean water with gentle current.

Feeding: Feed sinking pellets once a day, ideally in the evening when they are most active. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms.

Tankmates: They are tiny and peaceful, so they are safe with shrimp and small community fish.

Good to know: Stone catfish are well camouflaged and often sit still on rocks and wood.
