Leopard Ctenopoma Ctenopoma acutirostre

The Leopard Ctenopoma is an African anabantid from the Congo River basin. Be careful when picking tank mates as these fish have a surprisingly large mouth and will eventually hit six inches in length; however, they rarely bother anything when kept with fish they can�t swallow. They should NOT be housed with any of the more boisterous cichlids or other large, aggressive fish, as they can be fairly timid. They also should not be kept with other Ctenopomas or leaf fish, and even gouramis should only be done with caution and in a large system. Rainbows, the larger tetra species, semi-aggressive new world cichlids, most loaches, barbs, and larger corydoras species all make suitable tank mates
