Cephalosilurus apurensis?

Post by CatWhat »

Im not sure if this is in the right section. But anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any personal experience with these fish that you could share, what is the minimum tank size for these fish?

No personal experiences, but if you do a search in the forum and read the Cat-eLog for species, you'll get some experiences.

My personal guideline is 4L x 2L x 2L for tank-size, which would mean about 120 x 60 x 60 cm/4ft x 2ft x 2ft. Others may have other ideas, but it's generally accepted that the fish needs some space more than it's own length, and enough space to swim for a bit, and some space to put some decorations in the tank without too much interfering with the fish's swimming space.
