Ctenopoma

This established Ctenopoma selection also includes Microctenopoma fasciolatum and ansorgii, alongside the oxyrhynchum offer. They are separate named fish, not colour variants of Leopard Bushfish. Read each listing’s adult dimensions and behaviour. The Leopard Bushfish is an ambush predator: a quiet swimming style does not make a small fish or shrimp a safe companion.

Arrange shaded cover and retreats while leaving access to the surface. Check which foods the selected fish currently accepts and how it will feed alongside quicker residents. The smaller Microctenopoma offers also need their own territorial and feeding assessment; do not assume that a small supplied fish is an easy addition to any community. Ask about the particular combination before ordering.
