Descripción de la especie
From the waters of Nujiang, Yunnan, China comes Creteuchiloglanis macropterus, a member of the family Sisoridae. A whiskered bottom resident whose day begins when the lights go off. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 25.5–37.4 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 18–26 °C at pH 6.5–7.8. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
