Check out this 12-inch Tiger Shovelnose Catfish now available at Alien Aquatics! This striking predatory species is built for power and speed, and it’s not your average community fish.

⚠️ Important: This catfish should only be kept in a large, appropriately sized aquarium. It’s a fast-growing predator that requires serious space, strong filtration, and a responsible owner who understands its needs.

🐟 Fresh stock for the nano tank crowd! 🐟

We just got in some Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus)—a favorite among planted tank and shrimp keepers. These active little catfish stay under 1” and love to school, making them a perfect fit for small setups or peaceful community tanks.

Best of all? They’re completely shrimp-safe and won’t bother even the tiniest Neocaridina. 🦐🌿

Swing by Alien Aquatics and grab a group while they’re in stock!
