Sturgeon Catfish Platystomatichthys Sturio 15cm

Overview: The Sturgeon Catfish, a captivating and prehistoric species, boasts an elongated body and unique whisker-like barbels. Originating from South America’s river systems, these remarkable fish captivate enthusiasts with their ancient appearance and tranquil demeanor.

Origin: Hailing from the depths of South American river systems, the Sturgeon Catfish thrives in slow-moving, well-oxygenated waters.

Feeding: Primarily omnivorous, these gentle giants appreciate a varied diet consisting of sinking pellets, live or frozen foods like bloodworms, shrimp, and occasional plant matter.

Tank Mates: Peaceful by nature, Sturgeon Catfish coexist harmoniously with similarly sized, non-aggressive tank mates such as larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, and bottom-dwelling species like Corydoras catfish.

Aggression: Known for their docile temperament, Sturgeon Catfish exhibit minimal aggression, making them ideal additions to community aquariums.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to their large size and specific care requirements. Diligent monitoring of water parameters and ample space are essential for their well-being.

Water Parameters: Maintain water temperature between 72-79°F (22-26°C) with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. Provide ample hiding spots and ensure pristine water quality to support their health and longevity.
