Ctenopoma Information to you

[killerfish]

leopard centopoma are very common around here all the petsmart have them for $8.99

Mine isn't the most active fish but doesn't mind chaseing other fish around and also has grow pretty fast got it at 1'' around 3 months ago and now its about 3.5''

However other centopoma species are very rare theres very little info on the other species and very few people keep them and there rarely seen for sale some people on the net can ship them for you but they aren't in stock very ofeten leapord centopoma have alot of info on them and lots of people keep them because they are great fish but aren't that rare

Hopefully he'll grow a lil faster when I throw him in my new 75 gal.

Obviously planted tank is ideal, but is it a must? Would larger leopard centopoma be ok in a tank with just a few pieces of drift wood? Always wanted to get some, but held off because I did not want to stress them out in my semi-bare tank.

I keep mine in a bare bottom tank with no decor. Should be fine. They adjust fast and will swin around with other fish

I have my 2 Cteno's in with some fake driftwood and they do fine they just hide under the decor or on the side of it.
