This fish provides an aesthetically pleasing addition to any aquarium with its bold black and yellow stripes. It is sure to bring a splash of colour and life, and many hours of enjoyment. Furthermore, its large size and active nature make it a great centrepiece in any home aquarium. With the right environment and tank mates, a Tiger Shovelnose Catfish can make a wonderful addition to any home aquarium. Additionally, it should be noted that regular water changes are an essential part of keeping this species happy and healthy.
The Tiger Shovelnose Catfish is an elusive species, and not much is known about its breeding habits. However, it is believed that the females of this species have a fuller stomach and a more rounded shape in comparison to the males. This could indicate that the females are the primary caretakers of the eggs. Additionally, further research should be conducted to gain a better understanding of the breeding habits of the Tiger Shovelnose Catfish. It could also provide insight into why the females have a fuller body shape.
Because Tiger Shovelnose Catfish are not picky eaters, feeding them is not difficult. This fish will eat fish and crustaceans in the wild, but in an aquarium setting, various worms, frozen foods, sinking catfish pellets, and dry foods will provide the proper nutrition.
