Ctenopoma acutirostre?

[apharing]

Hi guys, i recently purchased two "spotted African leaf fish" but after some research i found out the it was actually not a leaf fish, but a Ctenopoma acutirostre. What can you guys tell me about this fish, and any ideas for a tankmates in a 29? And i can post picks for anyone interested in the fish, they are very cool

Well they act just like a leaffish lol. Pretty mellow, just put 'em with stuff that doesn't fit in their rather expandable mouths...

what would you suggest for feeding? they are about an inch long, and i have tried blood worms which they sometimes eat, and brine shrimp which they ignore.

Bloodworms are fine, you might try feeder guppies or live blackworms too. They'll eat anything eventually.
