Dwarf Anchor Fish

The Dwarf Anchor Catfish is known from relatively cool, slow-moving hill-streams with sandy substrates. This sedentary species is ideal for smaller aquaria that houses other small, peaceful fish. There should be a soft sand substrate in which the catfish may wallow and in which it may search for food items with its sensory barbels. Provide shady hiding places and shelters from the current, in the form of pieces of driftwood, smooth pebbles, and robust aquatic plants. Dried Indian Almond leaves on the bottom of the tank in calmer areas also provide naturalistic refuges
