| Detail:
Catfishes are the most popular group of ornamental fishes
available today - ask any aqarist, retailer, wholesaler, importer
and exporter. Almost every aquarium community has its resident species.
In nature catfishes thrive in torrential waterfalls, large lakes,
thundering rivers, and quiet streams. They are mostly nocturnal, secretive,
mysterious animals, and this factor certainly makes them attractive
to hobbyists. Another factor behind their success is the wonderful
multitude of sizes, shapes, and forms found throughout the world.
In captivity most catfishes are adaptable to water conditions and
they usually prove extremely resilient against diseases. This up-to-date
guide provides an overview to species currently available and includes
basic information on how to maintain them in captivity. |
