Oxydoras (Pseudodoras) Niger Ripsaw Catfish 12cm

Overview: The Oxydoras Niger Ripsaw Catfish, known for its striking appearance with saw-like serrations along its body, is a captivating addition to any aquarist’s collection. Originating from the rivers of South America, this species boasts a unique and alluring presence in freshwater tanks.

Origin: Indigenous to the Amazon basin, these catfish thrive in slow-moving waters of rivers and tributaries, where they sift through sandy substrates in search of food.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, they readily accept a varied diet comprising sinking pellets, frozen or live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. They enjoy scavenging for leftover food, making them effective tank cleaners.

Tank Mates: Peaceful in temperament, they make compatible tank mates with non-aggressive species like larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other catfish of similar size. Avoid small fish that could be seen as prey.

Aggression: Generally peaceful, but may exhibit territorial behavior if confined in a smaller tank or if competing for hiding spots. Provide ample hiding places to mitigate any potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists due to their larger size and specific water needs. Attention to tank size, water quality, and diet is crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters: Maintain a pH range between 6.5 to 7.5 and a temperature of 72-79°F (22-26°C). They appreciate clean, well-oxygenated water and benefit from regular water changes.
