It is known for its overall mottled coloration and graceful, deliberate manner of swimming. At a typical adult size of up to 11 inches (28 cm), it is not small by aquarium standards, but it maintains a manageable size for the large aquarium and it is an excellent tankmate for other medium to large fish, such as South and Central American Cichlids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fisher's\u003cspan\u003e Wood Catfish is a somewhat gregarious species, although it is also fine as a single specimen in an aquarium. It is not as reclusive as many other wood catfish, but it definitely requires ample hiding places in the form of driftwood, pipes, or other crevices. Multiple specimens will sometimes wedge into the same refuge. This fish is not territorial or aggressive, but like most catfish, it will prey on anything small enough to fit in its mouth, so it should not be kept with small fish and invertebrates. It will not bother plants. It is not particularly sensitive, but like many scaleless fish, it will deteriorate from poor water quality and maintenance. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Fisher's Wood Catfish is capable of jumping, so a lid or significantly lowered water line is necessary for its aquarium.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeding is very simple for the Fisher's\u003cspan\u003e Wood Catfish. In the wild, it mainly feeds on small invertebrates and fish. In the aquarium, it will accept most live, frozen, and dry meaty foods. It is a voracious eater, so care should be taken not to overfeed. Inserting food near the fish's hiding place is very effective, although it will typically learn to come out of hiding with enthusiasm when food is available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat tankmate for medium and large fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompletely peaceful with anything to large to be considered prey\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent scavenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not bother plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhat uncommon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTemperature\u003c\/span\u003e:  71\u003cspan\u003e°\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- 89° F (21.6° - 31.6° C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003epH\u003c\/span\u003e:  6.5 - 7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eKH\u003c\/span\u003e:  2 - 12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMinimum tank size\u003c\/span\u003e:  75 gallons \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE GUIDELINES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDiet\u003c\/span\u003e:  Carnivorous.
