The Banjo Catfish is calm and stays near the bottom. I set up a quiet tank with stable water parameters and it adapted well. I added a few other peaceful species and they coexist without issues. Good for beginners who want a low-maintenance, quiet fish.

I bought this for my community tank. It’s not very active, but it’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. I make sure to maintain consistent lighting and provide hiding spots. The water needs to be stable, which I’ve managed with a good filter.

After a few weeks, the fish settled in well. I followed the advice about light cycles and water stability. It’s a quiet presence and doesn’t require much attention. I would recommend it to someone looking for a calm, unobtrusive species.
