Tanganyikan Catfish or African Bullhead

The Tanganyika Catfish or African Bullhead is probably not the best choice for a community aquarium. It may emit a poisonous substance in the water when it is disturbed that may not be very good for the surrounding fish. If you decide to keep this fish from Tanganyika, you will need plenty of medium size and large rocks in the fish tank to create caves for it to hide in.

 

Tanganyikan Catfish or African Bullhead Breeding: It's very difficult to distinguish between the sexes of this catfish. Typically, the eggs will stick to the walls and flooring of rocky caves and the parents will care for them.
