Somik Antsistrus - a tireless aquarium orderly

Today, the most common aquarium catfish is ordinary ancistrus (indicated in encyclopedias as Ancistrus multispinnis). In length, the male can reach 17 cm, the female - a little less. Somik Antsistrus is lovingly and deservedly called an aquarium cleaner.

Catfish Antsistrus




The fact is that its main food is algal fouling on the walls and bottom of the aquarium, i.e. he eats the very greens that would have to be removed manually. In addition, catfish does not refuse live and dry food intended for other inhabitants of the aquarium world. It is recommended to periodically feed the cleaner with leaves of dandelion, lettuce, cabbage (they must be scalded with boiling water and immersed to the bottom, fixing with pebbles).
