ctenopomas are cool. I almost set my 75 up with polypterus and ctens.

i can try... but these little buggers are really hard to take pics of becuase they are always speedy when they see the camera.

But i will try.

Bump, I wanna see more pictures! I'm setting up a tank for some Ctenopoma. Let's see some full tank shot's aswell!

Great fish, I read that they are tough to feed but I don't personally have any trouble. He'll eat freeze dried, certain color flakes,just about anything. I keep some guppy sluts around in a ten gal for live food supply.He also likes ghost srhimp, however so do I so no more shrimp "friends" for him.

Tough to feed? I'ld be hard pressed to find anything he won't eat. He will even steal my pleco's algea waffers, he does eat them just grabs them and runs (swims) away. He's a total a-hole, I try to avert his attention form his tank mates so he doesn't annoy them too much, snails and mirrors I find work well. More pics

When I first got him, after all inhabitants of my mom's tank misteriously disappeared. Fish store recommended him as a great community fish for a 10g guppy tank, I think they may have had a good laugh on that sale. Wasn't he adorable.

This picture reminds me of "A Haunting in CT"









The heavy canapy also seems to help divert his attention away from his tank mates. I throw floating veggie pellets in the morning. He stalks whatever the pleco leaves behind.

Tried to get him while he was stalking a shrimp hiding up on a floating plant but he gets an attitude when he sees the camera.
