Descripción de la especie

From the waters of China comes Pseudobagrus crassilabris, a member of the family Bagridae. A whiskered bottom resident whose day begins when the lights go off. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 24.4–35.8 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 15–25 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
