En savoir plus

Erpetoichthys calabaricus, also known as the Calabar catfish or neon catfish, is a species of freshwater fish native to West Africa. It is commonly found in the rivers and lakes of the Niger basin region.

The Calabar catfish is a fast-growing fish that can reach up to 45 cm in length and weigh up to 2 kg. It has an elongated shape and a bifurcated caudal fin. Its color is generally gray-green with black vertical stripes along its body.

The Calabar catfish is an omnivorous species, feeding primarily on small crustaceans and insects, but it can also eat plants and other smaller fish. It is usually fished for human consumption and is considered a choice fish in many regions of West Africa.

The Calabar catfish is also popular in aquariums, although it can be difficult to maintain in captivity due to its dietary and water parameter needs. It is recommended to keep it in a large aquarium with clean, well-filtered water and to provide a varied diet including live and frozen foods, as well as quality dried foods.

In summary, the Calabar catfish is a species of freshwater fish native to West Africa, known for its rapid growth and popularity both as a food fish and in aquariums. However, it can be challenging to maintain in captivity due to its dietary and water parameter requirements.
