Anyone have experiences with zamora wood catfish?

Post by Bristlenose 94 »

I was at the lfs the other day and saw some zamora wood catfish, ende up getting one. I figured I'd barely see mine once he was in my tank, and so far that's held true haha. But ive seen him eat and all seems well, so i guess I'm just asking if theres anything i should know about this type of cat? I've never had a woodcat before. Any input/advice would be cool!

First thing I would say, if they had any more, go back and get another 2-4. What size is it? Adults are easy to sex, so if you do get more, aim for more females than males, ie 2M/3F.
They can take small fish if hungry, so suggest you only keep the larger tetras etc. Diet will be earthworms, small pellets, frozen bloodworm and they should also pick up any flake that they can, but the important part is to give them a varied diet.
