Back-to-Nature guide to
Catfishes
by David D. Sands
Catfishes are the most popular group of ornamental fishes
available today ask any aquarist, retailer, wholesaler, importer, and
exporter. Almost every aquarium community has its resident species. In
nature catfishes thrive in torrential waterfalls, large lakes, thundering
rivers, and quiet streams. They are mostly nocturnal, secretive, mysterious
animals, and this factor certainly makes them attractive to hobbyists.
Another factor behind their success is the wonderful multitude of sizes,
shapes, and forms found throughout the world. In captivity most catfishes
are adaptable to water conditions and they usually prove extremely resilient
against diseases. This up-to-date guide provides an overview to species
currently available and includes basic information on how to maintain them
in captivity.
