Tigrinus Catfish

The Tigrinus Catfish (Brachyplatystoma tigrinum) is a striking and highly sought-after predatory catfish native to the Amazon and Orinoco River basins in South America. Known for its bold black and white striped body, this species is a showstopper in large aquariums. Tigrinus Catfish are carnivorous and require a diet of meaty foods such as shrimp, fish fillets, and sinking carnivore pellets.

They require a tank with excellent filtration, well-oxygenated and stable water parameters.

Tigrinus Catfish are best kept by experienced aquarists.

They are extremely rare and highly sought after, with availability subject to seasonal changes. Often, only one or two pieces are available at a time. Due to their rarity, they come with a premium price tag.
