A small supplied fish is a growing catfish. Sturisoma nigrirostrum is reported to reach 22 cm; Sturisomatichthys leightoni reaches 18 cm standard length, excluding the tail fin. The listings also include larger-growing whiptails. Assess adult swimming room, resting surfaces and feeding space rather than treating a juvenile grade as its final size.
Check adult whiptail housingThis established collection keeps both Sturisoma and related Sturisomatichthys offers. Compare their individual water ranges, food and oxygenation needs; the leightoni listing has a cooler range than several others here. Provide suitable prepared food and feeding access alongside grazing surfaces, and screen companions for harassment and competition.
