Featherfin Catfish

The Featherfin Catfish (Synodontis eupterus) is a distinctive freshwater species known for its elegant finnage and peaceful demeanor. Native to rivers and lakes in Central and West Africa, this catfish can grow up to 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and is suitable for medium to large aquariums.
 
Featherfin Catfish are recognized by their feathery, extended dorsal fin and attractive marbled pattern of brown and black across their body. They are primarily bottom-dwellers and add a graceful presence as they glide through the tank.
 
These fish thrive in warm water, ideally between 72-82°F (22-28°C), and prefer a tank with plenty of hiding spots like caves and driftwood. They are generally peaceful and do well in community tanks with similar-sized fish.
 
As omnivores, Featherfin Catfish enjoy a diet of sinking pellets, algae wafers, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms. Hardy and easy to care for, they make a fascinating and low-maintenance addition to freshwater aquariums.
