Its body is characterized by alternating dark and light stripes that resemble chocolate-colored markings, hence its name. This peaceful and hardy catfish is a great addition to larger community tanks with other peaceful fish. Chocolate Striped Catfish are known for their wood-eating habits, and they thrive in aquariums with plenty of driftwood, which they graze on. They are active, but generally prefer to hide during the day and become more active at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"701\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"786\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"786\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"725\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Community tanks with peaceful fish and enough hiding spots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"824\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"824\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"811\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"859\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"859\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"849\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"885\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"885\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"875\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0-7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"949\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"949\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"916\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly or in pairs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"1018\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1018\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"970\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; best with other non-aggressive fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1042\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1042\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 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.
