It features intricate brown and cream marbling across its body and a tall, flowing dorsal fin that resembles a feather — giving the species its name. Native to Africa’s Niger and Chad River basins, this peaceful yet active bottom-dweller thrives in well-oxygenated aquariums with driftwood, rocks, and hiding spots. 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.
