However, there mayhem insufficient algal growth to meet their needs, so supplement their diet with peas and lettuce. Most of these catfishes eat all the usual aquarium foods, but can only manage very small particles. Any food that is put in the aquarium for them tends to be sucked up rather than chewed!Many sucker mouth catfishes are nocturnal and tend to hide behind plants or under rocks during the day, but most will make an appearance in daylight hours, especially if food is placed in the tank. Nevertheless,it is a good idea to drop some food in the tank for them just before the lights go out at night, but make sure that it will sink; like most catfishes, sucker mouths are usually bottom-dwellers. Whiptail's require well-filtered, mature water, that is high in oxygen. If the oxygen content of the water is severely depleted, these fish will rise to the surface for atmospheric air, which they are able to absorb through the hind gut. They are highly intolerant of aquarium medications containing ethylene blue and have been known to jump from the water to escape such treatments.
Quite a few types fabrications (Ancestors sp.) are offered for sale. These non-aggressive fish remain quite small. Males are distinguished by the many fleshy bristles all over the front of the head.In females, shorter bristles fringe the snout. Body colors and markings vary between individual species, some being brown, many being backbitten make excellent algae cleaners; if there are no plants in the tank feed them peas or blanched lettuce.

Layperson sp.have three muss of plates along their flanks, covered in fine dermal dentils that make the surface feel like sandpaper. They have a large dorsal and forked Thailand small eyes on top of the head. They are quite timid and may hide in a brightly lit tank, but will live happily in most safe temperature and water conditions.

Most dwarf pales belong to the Percolation family, a group of quite decorative, small sucker mouths that never grow much more than about7..Scm(3in) long. Like the clown pled(P. vita), they are superb little algae cleaners and very peaceful fishes in the aquarium, only becoming argumentative if another fish tries to muscle in on their hiding places, which they guard quite fiercely for their size. Percolation like to hide during the daytime and come out to feed at night, so you may not see them too often. Females are dull erin coloration than the males.
An exceptionally beautiful catfish, Banquet migraine, can Beverly difficult to acclimatize. Provide clean, well-filtered, highly oxygenated water in a planted aquarium.
