African Leaf Fish: Amazing fish 

Such a personal fish, such a beauty, trying to get one myself to care for and stare at for hours

my African Leaf fish is in a very heavily planted aquarium. He is happy and very active. So far he has sustained his light color pattern and as you said he is very carnivorous and hunts constantly. if you are keeping shrimp or any type of small creature (shrimp, snails or tetra fish) steer clear of this fish. If you like a fish with an active hunter instinct and want to feed him live guppies as a treat, this fish is for you. If you prefer to see them extremely active, place them in a tank with logs and stones containing tunnels and hide outs and plants on top as well as bottom. they will hide a lot and sneak through vegetation to hunt. A lot of overhead plants will add a sense of comfort they will become way more active as well as encourage a lighter skin tone for hunting camo purposes.

I got my Leaf fish when he was an inch long. He’s now 5” long and ate all my guppies!! He’s my favorite by far

The full grown one looks almost like an oscar with leopard spotting, the growth speed is unbelievable :0

I love these fish they grow fast and love blood worms and feeder fish as they get bigger really nice fish i had mines with my fire eel and rope fish which is also two nice fish as well

Another good one Darius

Bro, the music and editing is awesome, always excited for your videos👍🏽I can sit and listen to the music all night lol

Huzzah,, my favorite tank fish. Thank you

i have 4 of these and i love um had them since they were babies they are bigger than my hand and still growing i feed mine crickets, fresh prawn, worms, pellets, squid ,spiders and they love flies and waxworms

That fish is truly amazing. Great video.

Yeah I love these fish!!! I kept one years ago. .... Amazing fish!!!! ✌️🐟☮️

Leopard Ctenpomas r awesome fish! I used to keep several of them b4, and was able to successfully breed them once.

i like your videos

dope! he's dark because of all the black in the tank. My Dat did the same thing. then I put it in a natural rock back and tan sunstrate set up and boom... crisp stripes. great vid!

One of my favorite all time fish! They used to be rare when they were only available as wild imports, luckily those farms in Indonesia started breeding them back in the early 2000's so they are more commonly available. It is surprising that an albino morph hasn't appeared yet given the numbers in which they have been breeding them, maybe one day!

They really r amazing

They are a cool fish. Very unique in the hobby

Very beautiful. Thank you.

i like fish

Definitely a really cool fish. Love the look and that you don’t see many people keep them. Great video.

Great song

I got 3 when they were about the size of postage stamps and one of them is about 40% bigger than their siblings now I love them so much they are the stars of my big freshwater tank

I might have to get one of those

such a unique fish

Nice!

Beautiful fish. It’s not for everyone though. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching!

I had to downsize in recent years to a 33 gallon, A pair of Leaf Fish was my first choice. Bloodworms, live fish for hunting and crisp fish food has kept them in excellent condition. Very hard to find, but worth the purchase.

Have u seen the ornate ctenpomas? Epic...!

i was drawn to them because i love datnoids. they are mini tiger fish....lol i just started up again after 35 years cant wait to get one. cheers nice tank btw

They kind of resemble a brown archerfish.If you want an african river themed tank ,this is the best predatory fish you can get. From what i've seen they seem to be peaceful towards fish the sale size but at the same time they have an appetite for small critters.

i think these are one of the coolest odball fish

Great info and content 👍🏾

Oooh I like that fish! I might get me one of them suckas... Fanks for the vid!

They are very unique and beautiful. Yes with more plant coverage he will have darker areas. Really cool fish.

I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO!!! WOOHOO

Can i put a purple spot goby and bichir with it ? And the fluval flex 32.5 gallon tank would be correct for this fish ? Pls answer

Pantterikiipijäkala in Finnish, I was supriced it is "leaf fish".

I really wished they stayed small, they look amazing tiny, big they are pretty mehhh lol

My bush fish be chilling with the parrots and flower horn fish

Perfect, I wanted to put mine in a 70g community with my eb acara

Asia, South America, Australia, & parts of North America are continents with hot regions also. Where ever they're from leaf fish eat flesh. Giving worms to swordtails & mollies is predator fishkeeping. Cool Diamond Spot or Panda Corydoras.

I just discovered these fish. I have two juviees in my tank with two juvenile angels and 8 neon tetras. As they mature, I will house them in a larger tank with the angels. That will begin a chiclid tank.

Omg are those yo-yo loaches(5:45-5:50) In there with him?! I have two but are no where near that big !!

Helllo i just my first 6

I have a juvenile half the size of yours! Cant wait! Do you know if they can live with spotted headstanders?

I had a pair, bought together very young. As long as they are introduced at the same time at a young age they don't get aggressive with each other. I lost one in an extensive power outage and tried to introduce another young one without success. Surprisingly docile for a predator, but will kill a juvenile. I introduced 2 blood parrots later on and was happy that the parrots did not recognize my leaf fish as a fish at all. caution putting anything tiny in the tank as the leaf fish can and will bite off more than it can swallow and did get a small feeder stuck in its mouth at one point. Luckily I was able to pull it out easily and my fish lived another day. I finished off my tank with a few medium barbs, and occasionally added ghost shrimp for a good clean tank and a treat for the apex predators.

I might just get one!

I got home from work and my albino Cory wasy torn to pieces. IDK if it died and he ate it or if the Lil guy killed him. He's only like an inch.

What do you feed your Leaf Fish, brand and type of pellet? I love my two leaf fish I've had them for 4 years now

What local pet store sell them

cuz i have a pet puffer fish green spoted

Beautiful fish and lovely aquarium. Do you think the leaf fish would be ok with a pair of Kribensis in a 63gallon aquarium?

can you make a how to pet puffer fish video?🐡

Hey! 😀 beautiful tank! what fish is at 5:36 behind bush fish!!

Does the colour n the pattern of this change from when it is juvenile to when it becomes an adult ?

I keep mine with south American

wow...👍😎🐟

If u put lighter gravel he will have more color

Can the fish be big?

I have one about 5” wonder how it would do in my Oscar tank 🤔

Since a lot of people seem to have this fish also... I have two one in a 60 gallon tank and a 40 gallon tank.... I'm looking for tank mates I like this setup not trying go with knife fish etc I have a female Kribensis Cichlid would that work with him on a 40 gallon tank and they'd be ok? Amy help is much appreciated 🙏🏼

What did you feed this beauty? I want one or two for my 125 Congo biotope to go with my bichir

What are those Barbs that you keep with the leaf fish?

Does anyone know what the little fish with the yellow fins are called? Maybe some sort of tetra or something? Around 2:21 any information would be great appreciated. Cheer's

Where did you get urs?

Hey Darius can u give me a few tips on keeping African cichlids

Could they live with a betta and Senegal bichir?

I've had an African Leaf Fish in my tank for 12 years. It has eaten every fish in my tank and I can't wait for it to die so I can get more fish. This fish might look cool and be "semi-aggressive", but this thing is very aggressive and will eat everything in the tank.

if only I have the space

I wish they stayed small

Can I keep a leaf fish in a community tank

Btw with my experience of this fish it is very aggressive. It has even killed one of my lobsters before.

How much do they cost?

Whats your favorite fish

Can your keep them with a school of nice adult sized Asian rummy nose rasboras

Could I put one with a peaceful Oscar

Can i put them in my aquarium with 2 oscars?

Your loach is FAT CUTE!
