Ctenopoma petherici

Ctenopoma petherici is a beautiful, though sometimes elusive fish that can adapt well to aquariums if given the right conditions. Known for its remarkable ability to get 'air-borne' in the wild, it's important to have a secure lid on any tank it resides in as it may be a jumper. While it can show some aggressive tendencies, it generally coexists peacefully with other similar-sized, non-aggressive tank mates. Feeding typically comprises both live and frozen foods. They are known for their camouflage abilities and usually remain hidden among plants.
