Ask Finn

A slender, twig-like catfish from South America with an extremely elongated body and snout, perfectly camouflaged among plant stems and wood, reaching 6–8 inches. It is a specialized algae grazer that requires driftwood to rasp on, pristine water quality, and soft acidic conditions; it is sensitive to pollutants and best kept by experienced hobbyists.
