Hemiodontichthys acipenserinus

17. February 2014

This species has been named “Pinocchio cat” in the trade due to its funny looking nose. The species represents the smallest of all mouthbrooding whiptail cats – it usually grows only to 10 cm total length in aquaria – and is thus very well suited for keeping. We currently were able to import these beautiful animals once more from Peru.

For our customers: the fish have code 257904 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
