Chocolate Stripe Catfish

This catfish is not very active, but due to the size it’ll potentially grow you’ll need a tank from 150 liters (33 gallons) capacity. Striped Raphael catfish easily stands quite severe environmental conditions.
 
This is a nocturnal fish species, it is careful and timid during a day, that’s why it’s better to keep the tank obscure.
