oxydoras niger

These cats will show a little more activity if in a well aerated/oxygenated tank with moderate to strong water flow (at least mine did). They probably have fairly high O2 demands considering the waters they're caught in.

they do not like the light, got to watch him with the lights off

I rigged my fishroom with a few photo-developing darkroom lights. My nocturnal species can't see this light so, I can watch them easily when they think it's dark and become more active.
 
thanx guys for the comments.he was moving about this morning when the light was off,soon as i turned it on he found the bogwood and stayed there.

this wkend or next il be adding a tiger shovelnose to the tank which is a few inch bigger than the niger.
