Psuedopimelodus species are not that popular in the hobby due to their two biggest traits, one they are supreme predators that can eat fish nearly as big as themselves and two they are extremely shy and nocturnal so you never see them. Other than that they are fantastic fish and perfectly suited to the small species tank as they are fairly inactive and most are fairly small.

Cheers CFC,

So are you sayin there like chaca chaca?

Are they as shy?

 

[QuotheRaven]

Jelly Catfish from my research are VERY shy, like don't see them for a month until one day it comes out to eat shy...

Chaca arent so much shy and nocturnal but just very very lazy, except for when assuming a new hunting position Chaca wont bother to move at all. Most Pseudopimelodus species are actually quite active once the lights are out and can be veiwed by the use of a red light as they whizz around the tank looking for anything they might be able to fit into their mouths.
