active and hardy bottom dwellers.
their active scavenging reminds me of the handheld vacuum cleaners

hahaha im thinking of feeding them Hikari Tropical SINKING CARNIVORE PELLETS ! any other suggestions of the feed?

they eat anything and everything edible.
floating, sinking
meat based pellets, wheat germ pellets, algae wafers.
Market prawn, worms, shell, debris.

The biggest difference is they dont try to swallow their tankmates

Max size easily more than 2feet.
They are too active for goldfish and discus. The goldfish and discus will lose out during feeding to these greedy cats...

U can see adult ones in the river safari.
Heres an example adult i find online.
But, it would take a long time to grow to this size in our fishtanks.
