Langschwanz-Spatelwels – Platysilurus mucosus

Der Langschwanz-Spatelwels (Platysilurus mucosus) ist ein interessanter südamerikanischer Wels aus der Familie der Antennenwelse (Pimelodidae). Charakteristisch sind der abgeflachte, spatenförmige Kopf, die langen Barteln und der relativ schlanke Körper mit verlängertem Schwanzbereich. Durch sein ungewöhnliches Erscheinungsbild ist diese Art bei Liebhabern südamerikanischer Welse besonders beliebt.

Herkunft

Platysilurus mucosus stammt aus Südamerika und kommt vor allem im Amazonasbecken sowie in angrenzenden Flusssystemen vor. Dort bewohnt er langsam fließende Flüsse, Nebenarme und überschwemmte Waldgebiete mit sandigem oder schlammigem Bodengrund. Die Tiere halten sich überwiegend in Bodennähe auf und suchen tagsüber Schutz zwischen Wurzeln, Holz oder anderen Strukturen.

Haltung und Verhalten

Der Langschwanz-Spatelwels ist überwiegend nachtaktiv und zeigt ein ruhiges Verhalten. Im Aquarium bevorzugt er eine strukturreiche Einrichtung mit Versteckmöglichkeiten und gedämpfter Beleuchtung. Als Fleischfresser nimmt er vor allem Frostfutter, Fischstücke, Garnelen oder andere eiweißreiche Futtersorten an.

Endgröße

Nach wissenschaftlicher Literatur erreicht Platysilurus mucosus eine Endgröße von etwa 20 bis 25 cm. Damit bleibt die Art deutlich kleiner als viele andere südamerikanische Raubwelse und kann bereits in größeren Standardaquarien mit ausreichend Bodenfläche gepflegt werden.

Great for strong chewing dogs. Entertaining too!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My black lab can destroy the toughest of dog chew toys, but he's not destroyed this peanut. I fill it with peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin or apple sauce and freeze it. It keeps him entertained for quite a while. When the filling is gone, he leaves it alone or carries it around begging for a filled one.

Super cute! If you have one dog it'll last a while. If you have more than one...buy two.
Flavor Name: Marshmallow & Peanut Butter, Size: Large
This is THE FAVORITE chew toy in our household. We have two grown labs and a 10 month old mutt and they all love this toy. They got a variety of chew toys at Christmas and this is the one that they steal from each other. That said, they've definitely managed to kill it. It's well worth the money and it's held up well to heavy chewers but four months later and we're going to have to buy a new one. It's now a stub. They managed to break off all the marshmallows about a week ago and the stick itself is more like a chunk now but we definitely got our money's worth.

Lasting 6 months in! Great smell.
Flavor Name: Marshmallow & Peanut Butter, Size: Large
This actually does smell like marshmallows which is definitely more pleasant than most dog chews!! It has held up to our power chewer. It’s a bit heavy for our smaller dog but he manages and it’s quite funny!! It’s a bit hard but that’s why it is holding up. Would buy again if this one ever wears out.

Great product
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I have a very active, medium sized dog (heeler). I wish this product was just a little bigger but it is still a great product. I fill it with pureed meat baby food and freeze. A 2.5oz jar will fill this product about 2 times. This keeps my dog busy for a while. Its also great when she's outside on a hot day. I absolutely recommend this product and at such a great price ($6 when I purchased it) i may buy a few more so I'll always have a frozen one ready when needed.

Extra durable and hard
Flavor Name: Marshmallow & Peanut Butter, Size: Large
Much harder and tougher than most of the chews and bones I get. Too tough for my own dog, but it’s become a favorite of two other dogs in my life who are stronger chewers. Also looks adorable when they carry it around.
