Catfish
Catfish are normally native to South America and Africa. Most Catfish are suitable to any aquarium. They forage for food at the bottom of the tank, and others will be very happy eating the algae off the glass.

The plecostomus is a peaceful species that can be housed in a community tank as a single member of its species. As adults, they are extremely intolerant of their own kind, although two can be kept together if they are added simultaneously as juveniles and allowed to "grow up" together. They are heavy eaters and produce copious amounts of feces, strong filtration is a must.

This catfish is very similar to other cats - especially the Hypostomus plecostomus, but is certainly not, and is in the Loricariid family. It can be very large, and should be fine with other bottom feeders, although it may fight its own species.

These catfish are becoming very popular, as they graze on the top of any leaves, and remove algae. They are very peaceful, small and a good acquisition for any fishkeeper.

The body colouring of this fish has a grey - brown sheen, with black spots all over. It is very similar to other Corydoras.

This is a peaceful fish, which would prefer a large tank. Its a funny looking fish, with many thin tentacles on its face. It needs clean water with plenty of oxygen.

The very large fish is elongated, spotted with a green body colour. It has a distinctive ventral sucking mouth. It does a good job of keeping the algae growth down in the aquarium. There is a smaller version of this fish which gets to no bigger than 100mm.

These fish are strange..... almost totally transparent, this is obviously where they got their name from.
