Colombian Wood Catfish Trachelyopterus Insignis 5cm "Introducing the Colombian Wood Catfish, known scientifically as Trachelyopterus insignis, a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. Originating from the river systems of Colombia, these sleek, nocturnal beauties boast a distinct wood-like pattern, blending seamlessly with driftwood in their natural habitat. Feeding on a carnivorous diet, they eagerly consume live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. As peaceful bottom-dwellers, they thrive alongside non-aggressive tank mates such as tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other similarly sized catfish. With a low aggression level and a preference for hiding spots within driftwood or caves, these catfish are well-suited for intermediate aquarists. They appreciate stable water parameters, including temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH levels ranging from 6.0 to 7.5, and moderately soft to moderately hard water. Experience the allure of the Colombian Wood Catfish, an enchanting species that brings both beauty and tranquility to your aquatic haven."
