Armored Catfish

The Armored Catfish spends it days hiding in the wood or rock decoration of the aquarium. This is a hearty catfish that can survive in low oxygenated water. It can take in air from the surface via its highly vascular covered hind gut.

Armored Catfish Breeding: Males build a bubble nest in some debris at the surface off the fish tank. The female lays her eggs in the nest and they are fertilized and aggressively guarded by the male.
