Description
The Milky Way Wood Catfish is a smaller catfish offered to Petco. They are native to waters of Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil. They will grow to be about 4 inches in size. They prefer aquariums with plenty of hiding places where they can seek refuge. They are considered nocturnal and should get feedings with the lights off. This catfish is not overly territorial but will snack on anything that can fit in their mouth. Since they are a scale less fish, they are sensitive to changes in water parameters and poor water. Do not use a net to transfer this Catfish because it can damage their spines and barbels.

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.
