Peaceful by nature, the White Spot Talking Catfish does well with a variety of non-aggressive tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"602\" data-end=\"619\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"954\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"689\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"689\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"643\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful community or semi-aggressive tanks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"727\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"727\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"714\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"762\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"762\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"752\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"778\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"859\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"859\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"819\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly or in small groups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"927\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"927\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; avoid very small fish as tankmates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"954\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"954\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"943\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–20 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.

It thrives in well-planted tanks with plenty of hiding spots and should be kept in aquariums with peaceful fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"762\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"764\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"764\" data-end=\"826\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"826\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"786\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Community tanks and planted aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"863\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"863\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"898\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"898\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"888\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"924\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"924\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"914\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"988\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"988\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"955\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 or more (can be kept singly)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1067\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1067\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; ideal with other calm, non-aggressive species\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1094\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1094\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1083\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.

It features a slender, elongated body with a gold to olive coloration and a distinctive sucker mouth that allows it to cling to surfaces while grazing. While highly valued in the early stages of life for algae control, this species becomes more territorial and less algae-focused as it matures. Because of this behavioral shift, it’s best suited for larger tanks with fast or robust tankmates.

Featherfins are nocturnal but quickly become bold and visible once settled, making them an attractive and useful addition to community setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"773\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"853\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"797\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large peaceful or semi-aggressive community aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"891\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"891\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"878\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"926\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"926\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"916\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"952\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"952\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"942\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"983\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly or in small groups with space\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1121\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1121\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1055\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; ideal with medium to large community fish or cichlids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–20 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
