Blue phantom catfish
Hemiancistrus spec.
About me: Hello, I am a blue phantom catfish. It is recommended to keep me in pairs, preferably always as a different gender pair. Why? The answer is, as is often seen with other fish, same-sex pairs like to tease each other. Neither the other aquarium inhabitants, nor you, probably have much desire for unrest in the aquarium. In order for me to feel comfortable, the substrate should consist of fine sand. The general setup should have possible retreats, because I am more active at night.
