Lima Shovelnose Catfish

General:  An interesting cat that swims with its head down.  They are slow moving and more active at night.  Best kept in a large tank with hiding spots (such as tall plants).

Feeding:  They should be given some live and frozen foods. (guppies)

Compatibility:  Do not mix with fish it can swallow. OK with peaceful cichlids and large gouramis.  Other fish that go well with Lima shovelnose cats: Community #9

Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum
