Vulture Catfish Calophysus Macropterus 12cm "Introducing the striking Vulture Catfish (Calophysus macropterus)! Originating from South America, these captivating freshwater species boast a unique appearance with their elongated bodies and distinctive vulture-like heads. Their feeding habits are omnivorous, relishing a diet of sinking pellets, live or frozen foods. Best suited for experienced aquarists, these catfish thrive in spacious tanks with soft, acidic water conditions, ideally maintained between pH 6.0-7.5 and temperatures ranging from 75°F to 82°F. Despite their peaceful nature, they can exhibit territorial behavior, necessitating adequate hiding spots and carefully chosen tank mates of similar size and temperament, such as larger peaceful cichlids or other robust catfish species. Ensure a well-maintained environment and offer a diverse diet to witness these captivating creatures at their best. Discover the allure of the Vulture Catfish and add a touch of exotic elegance to your aquatic collection!"
