Burmese Sun Catfish 4-5" Live Freshwater Rare Tropical Aquarium Catfish

The Burmese Sun Catfish is an impressive freshwater catfish known for its distinctive appearance, active feeding behavior, and substantial adult size. The fish offered in this listing is approximately 4–5 inches in size.

This catfish requires a spacious aquarium as it grows, with strong filtration, good oxygenation, and excellent water quality. Provide plenty of open swimming space along with caves, driftwood, rocks, and other secure hiding areas where the fish can retreat and feel comfortable.

Burmese Sun Catfish are enthusiastic feeders and readily accept a varied diet of quality sinking carnivore pellets, shrimp, tilapia, worms, krill, and other appropriately sized meaty foods. A nutritious and varied diet helps support steady growth and excellent body condition.

As they mature, these catfish can become large and may prey upon smaller fish. Tankmates should be robust and appropriately sized, and any fish small enough to fit into the catfish’s mouth should be avoided.

Professionally packed with oxygen and insulation for transportation. Photos are representative; coloration, markings, body shape, and individual appearance may naturally vary.

You will receive 1 healthy Burmese Sun Catfish approximately 4–5 inches in size.
