Does anyone have any info on Pseudopimelodus bufonius? I am considering getting one and I hear they reach 10” and are pretty cool for aquariums 100+. Also, any special care requirements? Thanks!!!!
 
I dont think they need any special requirements. Standard stuff. No tankmates that can fit in there mouths. Mine refuses to eat pellets but does fine with chopped tilapia
 
The two linked threads by Jaws and Justarn describe a lot. I'd also recommend seeing Sharptoothbass's videos and threads on his specimen.

They may or may not be feisty with tank mates for reasons that are not always understood. As stated, they are ambush predators with a mouth to match.
