I brought 4 of these cats for a breeding project and been told that I have 2 females and 2 males but I'm just after some other opinions.

I have the opportunity to to purchase some Lamontichthys filamentosus and I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this species that would be willing to share any tips on keeping them?

Thanks

I thought I would introduce myself, after using planetcatfish for years I finally decided to register to get some tips, contribute and talk to fellow catfish lovers.
