In the aquarium


A. coracoideus appears in the aquarium hobby, named the zamora woodcat or the midnight catfish. These fish usually do not venture out into light and will prefer to spend the day tightly sheltered in small spaces. It is a robust species that is suitable for community aquaria, but can't be trusted with small fish that it may consume.
