What is the size of this fish!
I find at online information, This a different answer, one said 8cm , another said 15cm, which is true?? Any comment of this fish? I'm introduce to buy 10 fish with my big catfish, is it ok? Thanks!

I would not keep this fish with anything else. Those that have scales will soon be without them (and very dead, I might add). Those without scales are liable to have chunks bitten out of them.

dunno what they were thinking when they imported a bunch of these, but they're completely and utterly UNsuitable for captivity!
unless you don't mind "feeding" live hosts that will be scraped and nipped to death.

I once took a stray 1,5" Ochmacanthus home (it was a contaminant in a shipment of non-parasitic Trichomycteridae or so) and it terrorized every other fish in my tank, ranging from small Eutropiellus to the 1-foot Pterodoras!

In the end, I had to euthanize it; it couldn't be fed properly and my other fish weren't exactly happy with the company.....

That was because I made the -wrong!- assumption that a nicely colored fish couldn't be a parasite; I expected parasitic fish to look all "glasslike" like Vandellia and Tridensimilis do.

O......o my God! Thanks all for help! I will kept this species alone in a new tanks! And feed it a golden fish! Thanks!
