1 | Blairc (k: 6) since 2004-04-26 to 2009-06-09, that's 5 years, 1 months; who writes, "These timid Cats are very good eaters, and can be fed on a diet of flakes, frozen and live food. They are extremely sensitive to changes in water conditions, and will go white when stressed. These fish enjoy having peaceful tankmates and a good plant. These Catfish are my favourite fish, and have been through the thick and thin of my fishkeeping career." |

At night they all school along the front of the tank in the current. I feed them at night, but they will come out during the day when they smell food." |

Remaining species are doing well, though a couple are growing much more rapidly than others. Inconsistent shyness; seem very sensitive to any changes, water cleaning, noises, etc.
June 2012: lost one when moving tank. Did not get water temp balanced quickly enough, and a few kryptopterus seemed to "sink" because of the temperature change. One did not survive this disturbance; all others recovered completely.
Feb 14 2015 - two adults remain in the 75 gal. Again the move claimed a few." |

They hover in the rear but aren't shy or skittish including hand feeding, unmoving during maintenance, and will come forward as soon as the lights dim (and sometimes before, especially if feeding).

The main shoal breaks into three smaller ones during the day, with two swimming only six or so inches apart and a pair accross the tank. At dawn they all group together in the densest part of the plants. During their peak sunlight hours they are more active, exploring the planted sections. During dusk they come out into the open to search for food." |

It was all alone in a bare display tank in the store, so I thought I'd give it a chance in my heavily planted community aquarium. Aside from additional conspecifics and low-dGH water, its living conditions were just right. Lived nearly 6 months." |
