Artübersicht

From the waters of China comes Silurus soldatovi, a member of the family Siluridae. A whiskered bottom resident whose day begins when the lights go off. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 85.5–125.4 cm. Keep bottom stock light — they share one floor. Feed sinking foods after lights-out, keep the sand soft, and never let nitrate climb unnoticed. Maintain 21–26 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. Best suited to a keeper who can match its natural water.
