The Toothpick Fish (Indostomus paradoxus) is a small, slender, and fascinating species of catfish native to the Amazon Basin. They are one of our top picks to add to a shrimp tank. They are a smaller fish and can grow to a a max size at about 1.5 inch which makes them perfect for planted nano tank. They are a peaceful nano fish even with small shrimp.
The Toothpick Fish can be pretty sensitive and will almost only eat live baby brine shrimp. Therefore, we do not recommend this fish to beginner aquarist.

They all arrived alive i did order four. One just couldnt seem to recover from the shipping. Which I was okay with considering how small and delicate these guys are. Other three are doing great! However it may be just my toothpick fish because they are heifers, but they will eat newly born baby shrimp and take em out! I had a abundance of baby and adult shrimp before them and now i have not seen a baby shrimp in a couple of months not even juvenile shrimp just adults!!
