This lot is for smaller fish from a recent spawn (3 months, ~0.75 inches), but providing a bigger group. I recommend a softer food like cucumber or repashy at this age. - Also known as the "peppermint bristlenose," this is a fun, easy to keep catfish. Mine are kept and bred in hard water with care very similar to more common ancistrus. The fry eat algae wafers, cucumbers, and repashy and grow quickly.
