Otorongo Woodcat compatibility with Jaguar catfish?

Post by Proteus »

Am seriously thinking about giving a try too. But not much information is out there either.

I can glean from that it evolved from novia to par something to this trachelyopetrus


Wanted to see if they're okay with temperature range of


was also worried about the size potential.

I haven't kept this one so far (alas), but my experiences with Lios and smaller woodcats (smallest species is A. coracoideus aka Zamora) are fine, so imo no need to worry. See to it that they have enough separate hiding places, for Lios are known to defend theirs quite fiercely.
Temp et al should be okay as well. I don't know what size they'll eventually get; based on pictures I've seen my estimation is that it will stay under 6"/15 cms.

Btw: are your Platydoras all well again?

I've decided not to give those guys a shot but try to get more of the Jags and give it a try again. MAYBE i'll change my mind again over the weekend


The raphaels are still struggling though it keeps flaring on and off It'll go away then come back then go away then come back- I'm still doing daily water changes dosing with prazi and metro which is last dose today and will also be trying to feed them with metro dipped food.
