Panda Albino SA Redtail Catfish 3-3.5" Live Freshwater Rare Aquarium Fish

The Panda Albino South American Redtail Catfish is a striking and unusual variation of the famous Redtail Catfish, featuring a pale albino base coloration combined with distinctive darker panda-style markings and the characteristic red-orange tail. The fish offered in this listing is approximately 3–3.5 inches in size.

This is a large-growing predatory catfish that requires significant aquarium space as it matures. A spacious setup with powerful filtration, excellent oxygenation, clean water, and plenty of open bottom space is essential. Decorations should be sturdy and securely positioned.

These catfish are enthusiastic feeders and readily accept appropriately sized meaty foods such as shrimp, tilapia, worms, quality carnivore pellets, and other prepared foods. A varied diet helps promote healthy, steady growth and good body condition.

Although generally not aggressive without reason, Redtail Catfish are opportunistic predators and may consume any tankmate small enough to fit into their mouth. They should only be kept with appropriately sized, robust fish in a sufficiently large system.

Professionally packed with oxygen and insulation for transportation. Photos are representative; panda markings, coloration, pattern distribution, and individual appearance may naturally vary significantly between specimens.

You will receive 1 healthy Panda Albino South American Redtail Catfish approximately 3–3.5 inches in size.
