You could have included, in fish to avoided, is the Gulper catfish, unless it is kept by itself in a tank.ability to swallow fish larger than itself is truly remarkable.
Oh yes that catfish can eat fish twice it’s size. I talked about it in other articles on the blog but not here 😅. I can add it to the blog. It definitely should be avoided - good comment :).
@@AquariumStoreDepot Thank you.
My teacher back in school had one of these in a large container on its own, very cool
Besides that, are there any other reasons why there a bad Beginner fish

Freshwater catfish is a very interesting species for many fishkeepers to own. The fish will look so cool in our tank. It has so many incredible features. Some of them love to clean up the bottom of the aquariums with all of the foods left. Otocinclus is a really good one. Most of them are really active. It's great that they love to eat algae in our tank. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Wow, It's amazing video., Nice explanation..need more type of videos..thank you for creating this!💫❤️

I love the way you say Pleco. I’ve never heard that before!
😂- it was Taylor’s first time doing a voiceover on this species - we fixed it later. The video was too deep in the production phase to make the edits so I published it as is.
This is good knowledgeable video. O got the point of this Catfish episode.

You forgot the hoplo catfish. They're amazing.
Thank you! I’ll add them to the blog. I totally forgot 😅 🤦♂️
That’s why stone cat fish are difficult for me to keep
Hello from 🇬🇧.
Interesting video.
I have kept a few of these. I love catfish. It would have been nice to know which are Nocturnal & which aren't as many catfish are Nocturnal & won't be seen as much. I'm looking for a type that is active during the day but doesn't get too big, perhaps 5 inches & can live with Dwarf Cichlids.
🇬🇧
Thanks for watching. I can update our blog to include that. I’ll get on that and comment back when it’s updated
Meanwhile ... if you're setting up an African biotope aquarium, and want some African catfish to perform a similar role to the South American Otocinclus ... look up the Genus Chiloglanis. They're relatives of the upside down catfish, but remain relatively small at less than 3 inches. They'll pair nicely with various West African rainforest fishes such as Anomalochromis thomasi and Neolebias ansorgei, plus various West African killifish that like soft, acid water. Some species even live alongside these companions in the wild.
Just one fly in the ointment - they're rare and pricey.
Thanks for the suggestion. Pricey but well worth it if they are solid algae eaters like otos
I heard that otto-catfisch can try to clean other bigger slow fish and thats not good. Does that mean only Discus? Or even on rainbow fish oder big Trichogaster leeri or other slower catfish like Ancistrus
I think you might be referring to the Chinese algae eater. They are know for eating the slime coat of larger fish. I haven’t heard of Otos doing this. Their issue is they do too good of a job and run of out their natural food source. They need to be supplemented food
I’ve had nothing but bad luck w any pictus cats, I love em & think their very pretty but bc of all their barbs & whiskers they always get either stuck in a net or sucked up into my water changing tube while I’m trying to clean the tank. But now my polar parrots are breeding NON STOP! & I don’t have that kind of tank space w a 75 gallon tank.
& I definitely need a catfish to handle the issue of eggs.
Can 1 2inch bumblebee catfish eat endler guppies?love your videos.😊
They get too big long term. Try mollies instead
Paroon sharks are the most common catfish sold here for aquarium. And let me tell, it tastes awful, specially the belly fat .......that stinks 🤮. Plecos have now been declared as invasive species and banned in pond or in open water . Upside down catfish are very agressive and the biggest problem is that they're nocturnal. They attack fishes when the lights off, most of the fishes sleep that time. They have 3 spikes , if any of that gets pricked it'd swell and become painful. Gless catfish I want to keep. 👍
Ia there any Coldwater catfish?
Yo, im too high for that intro bro
what about the moon light cat fish
Hi there. It's a cool catfish, but something I wouldn't recommend to keep in most aquariums as they get too large. I tried to keep this list to fish that are more reasonable to keep.
Ottos are indeed huge algae-eaters but when my tank don't have algae I have a algae wafers for em and tablets that they eat a lot in my 63gal they are very fat just like Cory's
Awesome - yes they need constant feeds to stay pulp 😊
@@AquariumStoreDepot they are too cute when they eat but there's constantly algae or blanched vegetables so they are fat boys
What I'd like to know is what do you do if you have too many fish? Two of the catfish we have were hatched in our tank, we'd like to find homes for 2 fish.
You can usually give them to a local fish store or a local hobbyist. Check with FB groups or local aquarium societies
@@AquariumStoreDepot I tried to take them to PetSmart, but they wouldn't take them. I don't do FB.
@@diane1390 they a specialized local fish store. Chain pet stores lol PetSmart usually won’t take them
Asian Stone Fish
I love the columbian cat shark.
No gulper catfish?
Oh definetly didn’t make the list. That would make a list of fish not to buy 😅. They will eat just about any fish even ones near their size. I’ve seen them straight up shallow near full grown Oscars 😮
@@AquariumStoreDepot 😂 yep got 2 there bad 2 the bone
@@aaronfiddy4260 yes great aggressive fish - they will just literally gulp down most fish you put in with them 😅
@@AquariumStoreDepot yeah beasts I got one thays 6inch the smaller one about 4 there so cool
@@aaronfiddy4260 have they taken down a fish their size yet 😅. I heard so many stories from customers about them trying various tank mates and them shallowing them a few days later 😆
Another one to avoid ... the Piraiba Catfish, which is related to the Tiger Shovelnose, and which occasionally appears at dealerships. Do NOT buy this fish, unless you plan to house it in its own swimming pool. It reaches NINE FEET in length, and over 400 lbs in weight as an adult. This is best left in the Amazon, or displayed in a huge public aquarium that will do the fish justice. Can you afford even to BUILD a 250,000 gallon tank? No? Then this fish is NOT for you.
An aquarium capable of housing this fish properly is a full blown civil engineering project, with a budget to match. First, you're looking at hiring a 50 ton tracked excavator to dig the foundations. Then, laying a 3 foot thick concrete bed ... about 25 feet by 12. Then, fitting the glass in place, complete with the reinforced steel bracing that will be needed. Once you've checked it for integrity, it'll take a week to fill. Fancy this sort of undertaking? You can have three Ferraris in the garage for the price of this setup.
Then there's running costs. Don't ask unless you can afford to blow enough money per month to buy a new Mercedes.
This is why you should leave this fish to a large and well funded public aquarium.
Hoplo catfish?
Yes that’s a good one that we missed 🥲. Maybe when we do another list we will include or we will do a species highlight later on
