Housing & compatibility
Provide separate caves and enough floor space to reduce territorial disputes. Monitor body condition and feeding rather than assuming the fish is cleaning the aquarium.
Diet
Use a balanced sinking omnivore catfish food and suitable frozen invertebrates, with plant-based variety. Do not make algae wafers the sole diet.
