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.
