Formerly: Catfish Are Cool
Ctenopomas are very shy fish, by nature they will stay hidden and wait to ambush their prey.
By hidden, we dont mean stuck to the underneat of a piece of bogwood all day like say a nocturnal catfish, but they will hide in amongst you plants (you will need something like java fern) for them to stay behind, because this is what they do in the wild, its like a tropical, and smaller version of an english pike etc...
It wont be swimming up and down the tank the whole time, but it will be a joy to watch, especially when its big enough to take earthworms etc, that you can just float past it, and watch it lunge....
