Semi-adult specimen of the Pac-Man Catfish, Lophiosilurus alexandri.
so I had to change 50 percent of the tank volume two to
three times a day.
April 12: The fry were 15 days old and looked like small
Pac-Man Catfish with fully developed fins, but darker.
The 64 babies were about 0.8 inch (2 cm) long. They
rested in small caves close to each other, but became immediately
active when food hit the water. They rapidly ate
a lot during each feeding, and with daily water changes
they increased their size by 0.4 inch (1 cm) per week.
Within a few weeks, they had become lighter in color and
turned into perfect little copies of their parents.

To me, the captive propagation of aquarium fish is
an important aspect of this wonderful hobby. With the
successful breeding of the Pac-Man Catfish, a dream
became reality. Intense efforts over the years, from
obtaining the juveniles to having the adults spawn,
eventually led to success. Lophiosilurus alexandri is
certainly an unusual aquarium tenant and its keeping is
still quite rare. I am proud to report this success. Maybe
my work will inspire other aquarists to try their luck with
this remarkable catfish.
