Description

 The Tiger Shovelnose Catfish is a breathtakingly beautiful and powerful freshwater fish. Known for its striking tiger-like stripes and elongated body, it's a sought-after addition to larger aquariums.

Appearance: Sleek, torpedo-shaped body with distinctive black stripes on a silver background. The head is flattened, resembling a shovel, hence the common name.

Size: These catfish are renowned for their rapid growth. They can reach impressive lengths of over 3 feet in captivity.

Behavior: Active and predatory, they require ample swimming space. They are typically bottom dwellers but are often seen cruising the middle and upper water columns.

Care: Due to their size and predatory nature, Tiger Shovelnose Catfish are suitable for experienced aquarists with large tanks. They need high-quality water conditions and a diet rich in protein.

Temperament: The Shovel Nose Catfish is generally peaceful but can be somewhat shy, especially when first introduced to a new tank. It may exhibit territorial behavior as it matures.

Activity Level: This fish is relatively active, especially during the night (nocturnal), and prefers to explore the bottom of the tank. It is less active during the day but will become more lively during feeding times.

Social Behavior: The Shovel Nose Catfish can be kept with other large, peaceful fish but may be territorial. It is not recommended for tanks with smaller or overly aggressive species.

Water Parameters: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.0-7.5. The ideal temperature range is between 75-82°F (24-28°C). Regular water changes and good filtration are essential for its health.

Decor: A well-structured tank with plenty of hiding spots, such as rocks and driftwood, is ideal. A soft substrate is preferred, as it mimics the natural riverbed habitat and allows the catfish to dig and forage.

Diet: The Shovel Nose Catfish is a carnivore and requires a diet high in protein. It should be fed high-quality pellets or flakes designed for catfish, along with live or frozen foods like worms, shrimp, and small fish.
