Description
Spotted Raphael Catfish. Spotted Raphael Catfish ( Agamyxis pectinifrons ) Care level: Easy Max Size: 15cm Diet: Omnivore Temp: 20-26°C PH: 6.0-7.5 Purchase size: 3-3.5cm Spotted Raphael Catfish are a member of the Doradid family, also known as the talking catfish. They're called so because of the audible sound they make when taken out of the water. This medium sized catfish is best suited to larger aquariums as it should be kept in a shoal of 5 or more specimens. The substrate must be sand as the fish will spend much of its time searching for food in it. They are mostly active at night, however keeping other species like tetra and dwarf cichlids with them will encourage them to come out more during the day, but be mindful of the fact that they are micro predators, so avoid species that are small enough to become a snack. Snails are also a common item on the menu for Raphaels. They prefer soft, acidic conditions. Source: Shirley Aquatics Tropical Livestock.
