Biology and Behavior
Upside down catfish are a member of the family Synodontidae, and there are over 100 different species of upside down catfish found in Africa, Asia, and South America. These fish are typically small, with most species reaching a maximum size of around 6 inches. Upside down catfish have a long, slender body with a flattened head and a large mouth. Their eyes are located on the top of their head, and they have a pair of long, whip-like barbels that extend from their chin.
Upside down catfish are nocturnal fish, and they spend the day hiding in caves or under rocks. At night, they come out to feed, and they will eat a variety of foods, including insects, worms, and small fish. Upside down catfish are also known to eat algae, and they can be a helpful addition to an aquarium with algae problems.
Care and Breeding
Upside down catfish are relatively easy to care for in an aquarium. They prefer a tank with a sandy bottom and plenty of hiding places. The water should be clean and well-oxygenated, and the temperature should be between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Upside down catfish are also known to be jumpers, so it is important to have a tank with a tight-fitting lid.
Upside down catfish are egg-layers, and they will typically lay their eggs in a cave or on the underside of a leaf. The eggs are small and white, and they will hatch in about a week. The fry are very small and delicate, and they will need to be fed a diet of live food for the first few weeks of life.
Upside down catfish are a fascinating and unique group of fish that are a great addition to any aquarium. These fish are relatively easy to care for, and they are a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists alike. If you are looking for a fish that will add some personality to your aquarium, then an upside down catfish is a great option.
