This fish can be particularly bold around feeding time so should not be kept with shy fish. |

| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. Juveniles tend to feed on the substrate while adults will happily go to the surface for food. | |

| − | + | |identification=:A slender species of catfish with rather long [[barbels]] for an Auchenipterid. The sharply forked caudal fin is jet black. The snout is very rounded with a terminal mouth. ''P. nodosus'' has a complete lateral line with zig-zags. It is stated that the colour of the tail fades or even disappears as the fish grows larger although this has been contradicted by at least some individuals grown up to to {{cm|18}} that had their caudal fin remain black. | |
