Xanthic Golden Catfish Synodontis Nigrita 3cm

Overview: The Xanthic Golden Catfish, scientifically known as Synodontis Nigrita, is a unique and visually striking freshwater fish. With its shimmering golden hue and peaceful demeanor, it makes a captivating addition to any aquarium. This species is known for its hardy nature and intriguing behavior, making it a favorite among aquarists.

Origin: Native to the rivers and waterways of West Africa, the Xanthic Golden Catfish thrives in environments that mimic its natural habitat. Originating from countries such as Nigeria, Benin, and Cameroon, it is accustomed to diverse water conditions and environments.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, the Xanthic Golden Catfish requires a varied diet to stay healthy. High-quality sinking pellets or tablets, alongside frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, will ensure they receive the necessary nutrients. Occasional vegetable supplements can also promote optimal health.

Tank Mates: This species is generally peaceful and can coexist with many other fish of similar size and temperament. Ideal tank mates include larger tetras, rasboras, and other African catfish. Avoid pairing with very small or aggressive species to prevent stress and potential predation.

Aggression: The Xanthic Golden Catfish is known for its peaceful nature, making it an excellent community fish. However, like many catfish, it may exhibit territorial behavior if not provided with enough space or hiding spots.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists, the Xanthic Golden Catfish requires some knowledge of aquarium maintenance and water quality management. Its adaptability and resilience make it a rewarding choice for those with a basic understanding of fish care.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 22-26°C (72-79°F)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 4-15 dGH
  • Water flow: Moderate

Regular water changes and a well-filtered aquarium are essential to mimic the clean, oxygen-rich waters of its natural habitat. Providing plenty of hiding places with rocks, driftwood, and vegetation will help replicate the environment it thrives in and encourage natural behavior.
