Driftwood Mottled Wood Catfish Centromochlus Perugiae 6cm Overview: The Driftwood Mottled Wood Catfish, also known as Centromochlus Perugiae, is a captivating species revered for its distinctive mottled appearance and peaceful nature. With its unique coloration and moderate size, it adds an intriguing dimension to any freshwater aquarium. Origin: Originating from the Amazon River basin in South America, these catfish thrive in slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters. Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, they accept a variety of foods including sinking pellets, frozen or live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. Additionally, they benefit from occasional vegetable matter to supplement their diet. Tank Mates: Their gentle temperament makes them excellent tank mates for peaceful community aquariums. They prefer companionship with non-aggressive species like tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other small, calm fish that share similar water parameter requirements. Aggression: These catfish are incredibly peaceful and are unlikely to exhibit any aggressive behavior, making them an ideal addition to community tanks. Experience Level: Suitable for aquarists of various experience levels. However, familiarity with maintaining stable water conditions and providing suitable hiding places is beneficial for their well-being. Water Parameters: They prefer soft to moderately hard water with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.5). Temperature range between 72-78°F (22-26°C), and a well-filtered tank with ample hiding spots among driftwood or plants is appreciated.
