Does this specie predate upon fishes, if so are safe with what sizes?
its suitable for west africa/Congo riverine tank with small cichlids, alestids tetras, catfis syno or eutropiellus or other small mormyrids?
how much water flow? swift with rocks and some driftwood or more still with vegetation?

thankyou
I've already read it, but they tend to eat smaller fishes and they lives in fast flowing or still waters?

Re: Compatibility Channallabes apus
If I read they burrow themselves towards holes near a swamp, I would say they son't need much current
With regard to what they eat, look at the size of their mouth. Everything what could fit in would potentially be at risk. However, the head is not very large, so assuming a few Ch apus of 20 cm, I'd only be carefull with fish under 2 cm.
