Platydoras armatulus is a peaceful and nocturnal species that makes a great addition to a community tank. Due to their hardiness, they are recommended for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. They are known for their unique ability to produce sounds by grinding the spines of their pectoral fins, which gives them the nickname 'Talking Catfish'.
