Redtail/ Tiger Shovelnose Catfish

The Redtail/Tiger Shovelnose Catfish hybrid combines striking visual appeal with hardy, adaptable behavior. This unique cross showcases the distinctive red tail coloration of the Redtail Catfish paired with the robust build and feeding prowess of the Tiger Shovelnose. These powerful bottom dwellers thrive in spacious aquariums with strong filtration and appreciate dim lighting and plenty of hiding spots. They're opportunistic feeders with substantial appetites, making them ideal for experienced aquarists seeking an impressive, active centerpiece fish. Best kept singly or with similarly-sized tankmates to prevent predatory behavior.
