FrozenFins Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Well, I went to the fish store and bought a fish I had only heard of but never really thought of keeping it! I went to the fish store to get corydoras and came out with upsidedown catfish. They annoy my angelfish a bit, but hopefully this will change overtime. These guys are super fat, and eat EVERYTHING! Does anyone have any experiance owning the upsidedown catfish? I don't usaully impulse buy, but... the guy at my fish store seemed very knowledgeable and I know their policy is "fish first". So far I have loved seeing these guys swim, and scare me because I think their dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I've never kept them, but they are definitely an interesting fish. When I worked in an LFS we would always have people come tell us that one was dead, but they were just laying there. Just make sure there is nothing in the tank with them that can fit in their mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I had some for a while. They like to be in big groups, and if you have caves or driftwood in your tank, they will spend all their time sitting upside down inside/under it. Cute little boogers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sinking pellets and they wont come out for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might take a few days for them to settle in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
