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 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.

Pretty lightweight
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Although it still leaves a little bit of a shine ( more of a dewy look), there is definitely not that much of a greasy feel which really helps me to keep being consistent with using sunscreen because my big issue with using other sunscreens is that they're too greasy feeling and not lightweight and leave too much of a shine on my already oily face.

Not for sensitive skin
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have combination skin, prone to acne, and sensitive skin. Even though this is labeled as non-comedogenic and best suited for oily skin, I still experienced acne because the consistency of the sunscreen is really thick. It makes it hard to blend (really hard) and upsets my skin. It also smells a lot like alcohol, more so than most sunscreens, even those from this brand. I bet it's good for some skins but it simply wasn't for me.

Finally!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been looking for a sunscreen that does not breaks me out or irritate my eyes and this was perfect. I wash my face in the morning and I put this sunscreen on. I don't need to use moisturizer since this is enough. It does leave my skin glowy which I like but not greasy. I notice even my dark spots are fading but because I do use this everyday. My skin is tan and it does not leave a white cast. I love it. If you have acne prone skin, oily and sensitive give this a try.

Finally! An SPF Hubby will wear!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought my husband at least a dozen SPFs--everything from drugstore to premium brands--and he won't wear any of them. He's 64 years old with oily, extremely sensitive skin (rosacea and dermatitis), and a tendency to sweat a lot in the summer heat, as he's very active. As for SPF, he hates the white cast, how heavy it feels on his skin, and how his eyes burn when he sweats and the SPF gets in them. But I keep trying. Since Eucerin was the only SPF I was able to tolerate after radiation, I tried this one for him. It's the only one he's liked. There's some white cast initially but it settles quickly. He says the lotion doesn't feel heavy, hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts, and doesn't bother his eyes either. He actually wears this one!!! I'm thrilled! Thank you, Eucerin!
