uses for scraping algae and clinging to objects. They
have a special opening on the upper part of the gill

using its mouth. Sucking Catfish are not fussy about
water chemistry providing the water is kept clean and
they predominantly eat algae and plant food but readily
accept all kinds of foods. |
