What Is The Most Common Catfish For Sale In Shops?

[GeordieFishLover]

I know the common pleco is the most common plec, hence 'common' so whats most common catfish sold in most pet shops?

Quite probably the C. aeneus, either the bronze or albinos.

 

[oliesminis]

Agreed to C.aeneus, can be found in almost all fish shops.

i also find most stores stock ottos.

Around here it is C paleatus, peppered cory, that I see most often. There are lots of C aeneus too.

Yep, the above three corys and also the bristlenose pleco. Fortunately, in Australia, virtually every pleco you see is a bristlenose and not a common. Bristlenose only get to 10-15cm long, so you can have them in a medium sized tank.

as far as i am aware. A pleco is a catfish!
