Auchenipterichthys thoracatus question

[Timthedrifter]

Has anyone out there ever had a Auchenipterichthys thoracatus "midnight cat" ? We just got them in at work and I'm very temped by them I just cant find much info on their personality or how active they are.

As they are wood cats they arent much for activity. What are the tank mates going to be? When i had mine i had a bichir eel and since the cat didnt move much the bichir constantly tried to to eat him. So i would keep it in a community tank without predators.

Considered putting him in with some bolivian rams or in with my microglanis iheringi and spotted ctenopoma. Are they bad about harassing other cats?

 

[fishlover88]

no i didnt have any problems with mine harassing other cats.

Also in my research I found this species correct name Auchenipterichthys coracoideus. I may try and find a pair... I'm on a catfish kick lately

that would be cool to breed these cats. I've yet to breed my cats, but thats the ultimate to get cats to breed. Especially when they arent loricariids or Cories.
