Lanceolate Whiptail Catfish

The Lanceolate Whiptail Catfish can be kept in a community aquarium with other peaceful fish. This algae eater will do best in a fish tank with a steady slow flow of water and some good hiding places. Using rocks, wood and other aquarium decoration this catfish will do just fine.

 

 

Lanceolate Whiptail Catfish Breeding: It is very unlikely this fish will breed if there are any other species in the aquarium. When the conditions are right, the female will lay eggs that will stick to cave walls and other hiding places. The eggs will be guarded by the parents until they hatch.
