The Story
Leopard Leaf Fish
Leopard ctenopomas, or African leaf fish, feature the most "colorful" pattern within the leaf fish family. Leaf fish disguise themselves as leaves and jump on their prey, so "colorful" in this case is relative. These leaf fish are yellow with brown leopard spots. Small ctenopomas will eat live black worms, frozen treats, and sometimes flake food. Larger ctenopomas will eat small fish so choose tank mates appropriately.
- Scientific Name: CTENOPOMA ACUTIROSTRE
- Origin: West Africa
- Lifespan: 15 years
- Max size: 8 inches
- Food: Live, frozen
- Shipping Size: 1 1/2 to 2 inches
