Reticulated Driftwood Catfish
Reticulated Driftwood Catfish
Centromochlus reticulatus
Reticulated Driftwood Catfish are a very small, sweet, and social fish that are a perfect match for a peaceful community tank with other small fish species.
These fish seek shelter around pieces of submerged wood during the day and like to graze for their food at night, making them a great addition to a tank as a nightly clean up crew!
They love living amongst each other, so a group minimum of 6-8 individuals is recommended. Adult males have an elongated pointed anal fin while females have a rounded anal fin. Females can also carry unfertilized eggs and sperm within their bodies until they are ready to deposit.
Reticulated Driftwood Catfish grow to a maximum size of roughly 1 inch, so in a group of minimum 6-8, they are perfect for a 15g tank. They like their water temperatures to be between 71-82oF and pH between 5.0-7.5.
