Trachelyichtys exilis questions

Post by Rainman »

Hello all,
I have the possibility to purchase these guys. Before putting them in my tank I realy want to know wat kind of furniture
they appriciate, is that lots off wood ?
Or dens planted tank ?
Or a combination from wood and dens planting ?

Do the have the same hiding behaviour like most of the auchenipterid catfishes ?

thanks in advance

A combination of plants & thin twiggy branches in piles works really well but they do hide most of the time.
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
