We see it every now and then. Hope to learn more through you.
Well im not an expert on this species but im quite confident this is a clarotes laticeps. The store it came from didnt know what it was but i saw i right away so i made and offer of 300 sek wich is about 25usd and they took it. I have noticed its not shy at all even with a fully lighted tank its in. Its a very curious fish it comes up to the side of the sipaxtank as soon im geting close to it. Havnt got it to take pellets yet but then i havent had it for more then two day. Mussels and shrimp works fine for now. But will be updating continiously in this thread with growth and behavior.That's a rarely kept fish (if the ID stands). Grows big, looks drab is about all I know about it
Where do you live? Here in sweden they are quite rare. This will live with three cichla orinocoensis that is between 40 and 50cm. Then i have a sperata acicularis in a growout tank to. And currently looking for a pterodoras granolosus to add to the family
Over in the uk. Loads of bacu have appeared aswell, once again a rare fish there’s now loads of. A large one is very rare to see though. HAve two myself. Pretty shy fish I’ve found.
We hardly see them over here. I have a friend who got one thats about 50cm and has been in that size the last two years. But O.niger we get ****loads of here in sweden at the moment. Two catfishes on my bucketlist right now is as said pterodoras granolosus and a doras carinatus wich is never seen in the hobby from what i can read.
