(Other members of the genus Arnoldichthys)
ADULT SIZE: 8 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Not critical
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-27 C
FOOD: Feed Arnoldichthys spilopterus small live-foods and fine grade dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: This species comes from Nigeria
AQUARIUM CARE: This is an active shoaling fish, and as such requires some open water, and preferably a current to swim against. Planting should be minimal, perhaps some typical African Anubias fairly low in the tank.
BREEDING: Fry are very small and require paramoecium as a first food.

Sorry no records.
Vegetarian fish Some catfish have a largely vegetarian diet; feed them potato, lettuce, cucumber or blanched peas. Some of these will have to be weighted down, or held in place with a commercially available lettuce grip (magnetic clips are far better than suction types). As with all fish, do not over feed; remove uneaten vegetable matter after a couple days
