Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Chaetostoma brevilabiatum

The Chaetostoma brevilabiatum is a species of armored suckermouth catfish native to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of South America. Known for its compact size and efficient algae-grazing habits, it is a great choice for aquarists seeking a peaceful bottom dweller adapted to cooler, well-oxygenated waters.


🌊 Habitat & Care

  • Origin: South America (Andean river systems).
  • Tank Size: Minimum 30 gallons.
  • Water Conditions: Prefers cool, well-oxygenated water with a temperature of 68–75°F (20–24°C) and a pH of 6.5–7.5.
  • Tank Setup: Provide strong water flow, rocky substrates, and plenty of hiding places such as caves and driftwood.

🍽️ Diet

  • Herbivorous/Omnivorous — feeds primarily on algae and biofilm; will accept algae wafers and vegetable matter.

⚖️ Temperament

  • Peaceful but territorial with its own kind.
  • Best kept singly or in groups with ample space.

🧠 Behavior & Special Considerations

  • Size: Up to 5 inches (13 cm).
  • Adapted to fast currents; needs well-aerated water and stable conditions.
