Pygmy Driftwood Catfish (Trachelyichthys exilis)

Price range: $14.99 through $16.99

One of the smaller catfish in the aquarium hobby, the Pygmy Driftwood Catfish (Trachelyichthys exilis) grows only up to 3 inches in length. This beautifully patterned catfish is native to Rio Nanay in northern Peru, a tributary of the Amazon River. To mimic their unique wild habitat, these fish will thrive best in heavily planted and dimly lit aquaria. The Pygmy Driftwood Catfish is peaceful with most similarly-sized fish, making them an excellent choice for a freshwater community tank.
