Tips on the pseudopimelodus bufonius (giant bumblebee catfish)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
We are at the point with this stocking question that whatever we tell you is ignored if it is not the answer you want to hear . So whatever you want to do will work ……………… unless it doesn’t ……. and then you maybe ought to have actually listened.
 
Getting a 5 inch pseudopimelodus bufonius I need some tips

1. Recommend tank size
***I think the 30 gal section should work until your move just fine.

2.what kind of food do they eat
***They are predators that prefer flesh but would take pellet with some training.

3.are they compatible with oscars
***As stated above, if neither can eat either, they are.

4.how active are they at feeding time
***Varies depending on many factors. I think if comfortable, they will come out in the light to feed but they hunt by night by nature.

5. Is a 7.6 ph fine for them
***Should be. It is usually not so much the value but the stability that matters most.
