The Eupterus Catfish is a great recommendation for a cleanup crew member in African Cichlid aquariums. Be sure to never use an aquarium net to catch this fish-this catfish has rays that inevitably snag in netting, making them almost impossible to safely remove. Instead, use a plastic container to corral your fish. Like many catfishes, this species is primarily nocturnal, spending its days hiding under rocks. While you won't see much of it during the day, it'll often dart about once the lights go out and will usually put in an appearance when the tank is fed. They are sensitive to nitrates, so it is important to monitor your aquarium's water parameters. They will appreciate being added to an aquarium with a sandy substrate. This species isn't picky when it comes to diet, as almost anything offered will find itself quickly consumed.

- Temperament: Semi-aggressive

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
