Not a nightmare at all, unless you have a sudden perverted urge to stick your old man in your tank!!!

The mere thought of it going up it is enough to make me not want to be near one. But the leopard ones do look nice and are interestingly enough a catfish.

LOL!....I thought this was going to be another one of those ridiculously expensive Diver's Den offerings.....glad that it wasn't and,neat find.

Live aquaria wishes they could get candiru, they don’t get rare freshwater fish but once in a blue moon

What do you feed it? Aren't they parasitic, attacking larger fishes' gills?

 

[fishhead0103666]

Yes but if you follow the link it says they adapt to a different diet in captivity. I assume they would either take live foods or maybe tilapia.

Sounds like a bad fish for a indoor pond where you have to go in the water to clean the pond.

 

[fishhead0103666]

Yep, a good fish to stay away from for men.

New competition time.
Put 10 in a bathtub then put on a blindfold and climb in, whoever gets the most surgically removed at the end of the week wins a cap.
Who wants to go first?
