The Upside Down Catfish is a unique and interesting freshwater catfish species native to Africa. It is known for its unusual behavior of swimming upside down, with its belly facing upwards towards the water’s surface. The Upside Down Catfish is able to do this because it has a specialized swim bladder that acts as a suction cup, allowing it to stick to the underside of floating objects such as leaves or branches. This unique behavior has evolved as a way for the catfish to camouflage and avoid predators. Upside Down Catfish are relatively easy to care for and can be kept in a community aquarium with other non-aggressive fish species. They are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, and frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. These catfish are also known for their peaceful behavior and can be kept in groups. The Upside Down Catfish can grow up to 4 inches in length and can live for several years with proper care.

Tiger Shovelnose Catfish
Call for PriceThe Tiger Shovelnose Catfish, also known as the Tiger Catfish or the TSN, is a large freshwater catfish species that is native to South America. It is named for its distinctive appearance, which includes a silver body with black stripes or spots and a broad, flattened head that resembles a shovel. Tiger Shovelnose Catfish are not suitable for most home aquariums due to their large size and active, predatory behavior. They require a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming room and hiding places such as caves or driftwood. They are also carnivorous and require a diet of live or frozen foods such as fish, shrimp, or worms. These catfish can grow up to 3 feet in length and require experienced aquarists who are willing to provide the specialized care they need. It is important to note that Tiger Shovelnose Catfish have sharp spines on their dorsal and pectoral fins, which can cause injury to both humans and other fish, so care should be taken when handling them.
