Agamyxis pectinifrons
The spotted talking catfish, spotted raphael catfish or whitebarred catfish (Agamyxis pectinifrons) is a species of thorny catfish found in the Amazon basin where it has been recorded from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. This species grows to a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) SL.
In the aquarium
A. pectinifrons is a popular aquarium fish and is often sold as the spotted raphael catfish or spotted talking catfish.[1] It is recommended, due to the spines on this fish which would tear up a conventional net, that it is preferable to move these fish by hand. These fish need a dark refuge to hide in during the day.[2][1]
