Twig Catfish

[ghent_3rd]

I really like the look of these guys and am considering getting 3 or 4 of them for my Rio 180 as I am pretty sure they won't produce a great deal of waste. My slight issue is that I may never see them as my tank is now bogwood city after I re-aquascaped 3 or 4 days ago!!

Any hints would be much appreciated.

I have a tank full of bogwood with two twig catfish in it, and I see them all the time. So I doubt you'll have any problems.

I would possibly so "no" then. Or could you post a photo of the tank to see?
Due to their awkward shape and difficulty to turn when frightened, they will just end up swimming into bogwood and potentially injure themselves. Also, they need a very peaceful tank with "gentle" tank mates. And nothing where they need to compete for food – because they won't compete and just end up starving after a few months.
