🐆 Leopard-Like Spotting – Beautifully patterned with dark spots over a golden-tan body, making it a unique and attractive centerpiece for semi-aggressive tanks. 🎯 Ambush Predator Behavior – Moves stealthily and strikes quickly—fascinating to watch as it stalks live or frozen prey. 🌿 Ideal for Heavily Decorated Tanks – Thrives in tanks with driftwood, live plants, and plenty of hiding spots to mimic its native African habitat. 📏 Moderate Size for a Predator – Grows up to 6–8 inches; recommended for tanks 40 gallons or larger. 💧 Tank-Raised & Hardy – Captive-bred for better adaptability, disease resistance, and ease of care in home aquariums. Add mystery, beauty, and predator charm to your freshwater aquarium with the Leopard Bushfish (Ctenopoma acutirostre), a fascinating species native to slow-moving rivers in Central Africa. With its leopard-like pattern and stealthy, deliberate movement, this species offers a unique visual experience that stands apart from typical community fish. The Leopard Bushfish is an ambush predator, using its excellent camouflage and slow, calculated movement to sneak up on prey. While it can be housed with other robust or similarly sized fish, it will eat any tankmate small enough to fit in its mouth—making it best suited for semi-aggressive or predator tanks. This species grows to about 6–8 inches and thrives in tanks of 40 gallons or more with subdued lighting, soft substrate, driftwood, and live or artificial plants. These tank-raised Leopard Bushfish are healthy and well-acclimated to aquarium life, feeding readily on frozen foods, live foods, and prepared carnivore diets. Note: Best kept singly or in large, well-structured tanks with non-aggressive tankmates too large to be eaten. Great for intermediate aquarists looking for something exotic and behaviorally intriguing.
