Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps - #CCC

!

Very grateful fish for keeping in the aquarium. If it's a saddle, it grows. Somehow you can characterize this fish, with a small number of words.

Sometimes beginners in aquarium, mistakenly believe that this fish is able to clean the glass in the aquarium. This is not true. To do this, you need another fish, and even better, a good scraper with a sharp blade and some free time and desire. I believe that even Wikipedia misleads people about the fact that this fish eats algae.

I many times kept these fishes in the aquariums, but I did not see much benefit from them. A good one, they are pleasant to observe and they gladden their eyes with their rapid growth. This fish is not for small aquariums. In the pet store, you buy the fry of this fish and it will fit in a small jar, or a package, but, it will not be long.

A fish it will live a long time, it is poorly killed. It is necessary to try very much to shorten the days of life pterygo-fluk. They live up to 20 years.

What I especially liked about these fish, I sold the same fish several times and each time more.

I sold it, the fish grew, I was brought back and asked to change it to a smaller fish. A large fish, you yourself ponimete costs more.

Here are the main pros and cons of this fish. It is possible that in the rivers of South America this fish eats seaweed, but, in aquariums, I did not observe it.
