Great little catfish, put them in all of my tanks. Exceptional delivery packaging and wait time.
Werner (verified owner) –
Received very healthy fish. They are great algae eaters. But you must feed them some algae wafers from time to time.

These little fish do an amazing job at keeping the aquarium clean. They work well in smaller aquariums too.

Ryan Blackburn (verified owner) –
Great little fish. Seem to be all over the tank. Took a couple of days before they settled and started cleaning the plants. Spent most of the time on the glass. Will eat a bit and rest for a while. Definitely need a bunch to get everything cleaned up. Not very shy or bothered by some current given its small size.
