Pterobunocephalus dolichurus- Plan on getting some

Post by catfishchaos »

Hello everyone!

Im planning a desktop sized tank (8.5 gallon Fluval "vista") and I think a pair of would be an awesome fish for the tank! It would be a species only tank and plants will be minimal (I'm think a small portion or Murdannia keisak and some floaters like Limnobium laevigatum). Only other decor will be sand for them to wriggle into. Diet would be blood worms and brine shrimp (frozen) and maybe some sinking Hikari pellets every now and then.


Does this sound good?
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

Thanks Jools!

Ive been doing my homework on then and I am working on the "finding" part of things, not the most common of imports.

Any tips on telling These guys apart from P.depressus? I would be happy with either but i would like to be able to tell them apart!
