Guia de cuidados no aquário para African Sharptooth Catfish

Manter African Sharptooth Catfish em um aquário exige as condições certas.

Informações sobre aquário

• Nível de cuidado: intermediate
• Temperamento: aggressive
• Alimentação: carnivore
• Tamanho mínimo do aquário: 500 gallons (for adult specimens)
• Compatibilidade: Not suitable for community tanks with smaller fish. Can be kept with other large, robust, and equally aggressive species, but often best kept alone or in species-specific setups due to its predatory nature.
• Requisitos especiais: Requires a very large tank with strong filtration due to its size and messy eating habits. Needs plenty of hiding spots (caves, large PVC pipes) and a secure lid as they are known jumpers. Access to atmospheric air is crucial, so ensure the water surface is accessible. Substrate should be soft to prevent injury to barbels. Can be very destructive to aquarium decor.
