Dwarf Anchor Catfish

The Dwarf Anchor Catfish is a unique small catfish. They only grow to 1.2” in length. They inhabit slow-moving streams with soft sandy substrates.  They are not very active in the aquarium, so you don’t need a lot of room for them.  They prefer cooler temperatures, 64-75o F. They naturally occur in Bangladesh and India.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with an Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

Dwarf Anchor Catfish prefer to be kept in small groups.  They are better housed with species like Dario sp. or Celestial Pearl Danio. It is best not to house them with active bottom-feeding fish as they may be out-competed for food. We feed our Dwarf Anchor Catfish Brine Shrimp, Frozen Bloodworms, and other frozen foods. 

Their scientific name is Hara jerdoni.

Great little fish

So cute and very active when the lights are off. I ordered two for the one I already had. I ordered 2 from another company but one was DOA so I wanted to try Flip Aquatics. Great choice because they arrived healthy and very already very active in the tank with my other one.
