This is an amazing species indeed. I had one, which i got for around 300 bucks as a juvenile from Anand Parbat, Bengal Aquarium. But the fish never ate. :( It was maybe intimidated by the community tank fish (some large Angelfish). The fins are so wide and aerodynamic, the fish could almost fly in the water :D

It is good enough to justify swtichomg to large tanks... space permitting.

Hi Jibran,
even i have one small upside down catfish in my 15 gallon tank but i wish to shift it to my Chiclid tank with oscar in it.... Dont know if it will be wise & feeding them will be problem as chiclids eats very fast whatever dropped in.
Kindly advice.
Also,substrate in existing tank is sand & bigger one is gravel,will it make difference.
Regards,

Rahul Aggarwal
