    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Review on Fish :) About three days ago I went to my local pet supermarket and took home four of these little catfish. Unfortunately, one passed away the next day. I believe it was because it was missing its barbels, and therefore, couldn’t find any food in the tank. The other three are still perfectly healthy, they’re so cute and fun to watch! I have them in a planted tank with my baby female betta fish right now and all four of them get along amazing, they’re very peaceful and a great addition to the tank. When the store is stocked again, I definitely plan on getting a few more to add to their little group.
