The Duckbill Catfish is easy to care for freshwater fish. They are extremely calm and lazy! They are non-aggressive. These cats originate in freshwater forest streams, ponds, and lakes in South Americ. Males and females are similar in length, but females look plumper than males when viewed from the side. Can be stocked in numbers as these live in colonies. Offer lots of wood, and other decor to mimic mother nature.
