Random breed of Acanthicus adonis

Hello dear catfish friends,

Rarely is there any report about the offspring of very large catfish. I may inform you about the random offspring of Acanticus adonis.

Parents

The male was about 60 cm tall and the female was about 50 – 55 cm long.

The aquarium

In 2021 the Acanthicus adonis breed in a wooden tank measuring 210 x 300 x 117 cm.

The water parameters were approximately:

  • Temp. 28°C
  • pH ~6
  • KH <1
  • GH 2-3

The parents probably spawned in a clay cave attached to the side.
