Lepard Catfish

Main
Fish Info Main

These bottom of the tankers are great for cleaning the tank, they do great in a environment suck as the Neon Tetras, but can exist in variable environments. I also practiced on these due to the fact they are unlimited in the deluxe version of Aquazone. I use colorful backdrops for their tanks. I have no problem with them mating in groups or alone.

Again 10 percent water change with chlorine cut once a week. And I keep the filter between 20 - 30 percent dirty.
