Yarrelli Goonch Catfish 10–12 Inch Live Freshwater Giant Predator Fish Rare

Yarrelli Goonch Catfish measuring approximately 10–12 inches. This impressive giant catfish is highly prized for its powerful build, broad head, distinctive barbels, and prehistoric appearance. A favorite among experienced oddball and monster fish keepers, the Yarrelli Goonch is an outstanding centerpiece for very large freshwater aquariums and indoor ponds.

Yarrelli Goonch Catfish thrive in clean, well-oxygenated water with stable parameters, moderate to strong water movement, and plenty of open swimming space. As they mature, they require extremely large aquariums or ponds and are best housed with other large, robust fish that cannot be swallowed.

Feed a varied diet of high-quality sinking carnivore pellets, shrimp, fish fillets, mussels, earthworms, krill, and other protein-rich foods to promote healthy growth and excellent condition.

Professionally packed with oxygen and insulation for safe arrival. Photos are for reference only. You will receive one healthy Yarrelli Goonch Catfish approximately 10–12 inches in size.
