There are after all so many decisions to be made as to the type of fish you would like to keep, how much work is involved in maintaining and even the types of food that they should have.
Consider the purchase of your fish as an investment and remember that time spent planning and researching in the initial stages can make a great deal of difference to the success of your aquarium going forward.

They are hardy, nocturnal fish that adjust to any aquarium condition but if you wish to have fish that are vividly colored and instantly detectable, these catfish may not be the ones for you. The Banjo Catfish is a fairly sedimentary fish and can often be mistaken for dead as it lies on the unobtrusively at the bottom of the tank, if you try to touch them however, they will quickly swim away.
Banjo catfish are bottom feeders and prefer to root around on the tank floor, burrowing for food at night and they prefer some light vegetation and a sandy bottom as opposed to gravel.
They are exceptional at hiding away as their coloring lends to easy blending with their surroundings.
