Midnight Catfish Auchenipterichthys Coracoideus 10cm

Overview: The Midnight Catfish, scientifically known as Auchenipterichthys coracoideus, is a strikingly beautiful and nocturnal species originating from the freshwater rivers of South America. Recognized for its sleek, black body adorned with intricate patterns resembling stars, it’s a captivating addition to any aquarium.

Origin: Native to the Amazon basin, these catfish thrive in slow-moving waters amidst dense vegetation. Their natural habitat often consists of dark, leaf-littered bottoms and submerged roots.

Feeding: Primarily carnivorous, the Midnight Catfish appreciates a diet rich in live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and high-quality sinking pellets. They may also nibble on algae wafers.

Tank Mates: Compatible with peaceful tank companions such as other catfish species, tetras, rasboras, and non-aggressive cichlids. Ensure tank mates are not small enough to be seen as prey.

Aggression Level: Known for their peaceful demeanor, Midnight Catfish are non-aggressive and tend to be shy, preferring to hide during daylight hours.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate aquarists due to their specific dietary needs and sensitivity to water conditions. A decent understanding of water parameters and feeding requirements is essential for their well-being.

Water Parameters: Maintain a stable aquarium environment with temperatures between 74-78°F (23-26°C), pH levels around 6.5-7.5, and moderate water hardness. Regular water changes and pristine water quality are crucial for their health.
