Red tail shovel nose catfish

Phractocephalus hemiliopterus X Pseudoplatystoma f

The Red tail tiger shovel nose hybrid Cat has a less broad head than the red tail and body that tapers towards the tail. It has a dark black body, white underbelly, and a bright red tail.

The Red tail hybrid can grow impressively large in an aquarium setting and should be given plenty of room to swim. Due to its size and high energy, this fish should be kept with larger tank mates. Besides the minimum tank size of 600 liters, rocks, plants, and large driftwood should be used to enhance and simulate a natural environment. Since the Red tail hybrid is a highly active fish, a tightly covered aquarium should be used to prevent it from jumping out of the tank. They mature into a very heavy fish and should be maintained in a reinforced aquarium.

Feeding the Red tail hybrid is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a picky eater. In the aquarium, assorted worms, frozen foods, sinking catfish pellets, and dry foods will provide the proper nutrition.

Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 6cm - 8cn
