Phseudoplatystoma fasciatum behavior

[pedrous]

Is the Phseudoplatystoma fasciatum an active fish during the day or is the lima the only active TSN?
And is the Phseudoplatystoma fasciatum a fish that eats from the hand like the RTC?

Actually, its Pseudoplatystoma- there's no h.

Sometimes they'll chill on the ground other times they'll move around, i'd say their a fairly active catfish. They can be trained to eat from the hand. Keep in mind housing an adult will require a rather large tank.

tsn will eat your hand no problem.

tsn and rtcs are pretty active, along with the lima, and they can be trained as well. but they get BIG...

And about company, can I have a Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum in a aquarium with a platydora armatulos, a Black Knife Fish, a polypterus, a rope fish and L specimens.
