Driftwood Catfish

Large-growing feature catfish with wood-associated behaviour and a bold prehistoric appearance

Quick Facts

  • Size: Approx. 5–7 cm juvenile
  • Adult Size: Up to 27 cm
  • Tank Size: Large aquarium required
  • Difficulty: 🟡 Moderate
  • Temperament: Generally peaceful
  • Best Kept: Spacious community or species-focused setup

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You want a true feature catfish
  • You keep a medium-to-large aquarium
  • You enjoy unusual bottom-dwelling species
  • You can provide driftwood and hiding areas

❌ Avoid if:

  • You run a nano or small aquarium
  • You want a “cleanup fish” only
  • You keep tiny nano fish long-term
  • You cannot accommodate adult growth

Why this fish?

Driftwood Catfish are distinctive large-growing catfish known for their strong association with wood, caves, and shaded environments.

Their elongated body, strong pectoral fins, and prehistoric appearance make them a standout choice for aquarists wanting something beyond common community species.

Unlike many small catfish, this species becomes a true centrepiece over time and benefits from spacious, mature aquariums.

Common mistakes

  • Underestimating adult size
  • Keeping in undersized aquariums
  • Housing with very small fish long-term
  • Insufficient hiding spaces or driftwood
  • Weak filtration for a large-bodied catfish

Care made simple

  • Temperature: Tropical freshwater conditions
  • Diet: Sinking pellets, vegetables, worms, frozen foods
  • Flow: Moderate water movement
  • Decor: Driftwood, caves, shaded areas
  • Water: Stable and well-filtered

Pair with

  • Medium-sized peaceful fish
  • Large planted or driftwood layouts
  • Robust filtration systems
  • Large community aquariums
  • Bottom feeder sinking foods

Important Considerations

  • This species grows significantly larger than many common catfish
  • Requires strong filtration due to waste production
  • Not suitable for nano or small aquariums
  • May prey on very small tank mates as it matures
  • Best suited to experienced or prepared hobbyists
NTA Insight:
Driftwood Catfish are often purchased small and underestimated. Their long-term success depends less on feeding and more on planning for adult size, filtration, and tank footprint.

FAQ

How large does this species get?

Adults can reach approximately 27 cm depending on conditions and age.

Do they need driftwood?

Yes. Driftwood and shaded hiding areas are strongly recommended for comfort and natural behaviour.

Can they live with small fish?

Juveniles may coexist, but very small fish may become prey as the catfish matures.

Are they aggressive?

Generally peaceful, though territorial behaviour may occur in confined spaces.

Are they suitable for beginners?

Best suited to aquarists prepared for larger fish care and long-term tank planning.

Amazing Cooling Pillowcases – So Comfortable!
Color: Gray, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
I absolutely love these LUXEAR pillowcase They feel cool and soft and they really help keep my pillow fresh and comfortable throughout the night. The fabric feels high quality and doesn’t trap heat The size is perfect, and getting two in one pack is a great value for the price I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a more comfortable sleep

Not worth it
Color: Gray, Size: King (20" X 36")
These start out nice and cool but within minutes your body heat turns them warm. Not worth the money.

Great cooling effect!
Color: Stretch Blue, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I love these pillow cases! They are the best cooling pillowcases I have found. They do still eventually absorb the body heat and need to be flipped over but so far, the cooling effect of these cases outlasts the rest. I have had them for 5 years now and will not use any other cases. They are smooth like silk so I think they are good for my hair as well. The color is pretty close to what is shown in the picture and they fit most standard pillows.

Excellent pillow case
Color: Gray, Size: Standard (20" X 26"), Color: Gray, Size: Standard (20" X 26")
I bought this Luxear from pillowcase a few days ago and I’m very happy with it. The standard size fits my pillows perfectly, and the gray color looks modern and goes well with my bedding . I love it because It has two sides: one with cooling fabric that really feels fresh to the touch (perfect for hot nights), and the other side made of soft cotton, which feels cozy and comfortable. After just a few days of use, I already notice the difference. I sleep much more comfortably and no longer wake up feeling too warm. The material feels high quality and durable. It doesn't have any strange smell which I love from the first moment Definitely a great purchase!
