Description
Shovelnose Catfish Sorubim Lima 10cm
“Introducing the captivating Shovelnose Catfish Sorubim Lima! Originating from South America’s river systems, this stunning species boasts a distinctive shovel-like snout and sleek, silver body. With a voracious appetite, these carnivorous giants thrive on a diet of meaty foods like shrimp, fish, and sinking pellets.
Best suited for experienced aquarists, their large size and need for spacious tanks make them a statement centerpiece. Tank mates should be chosen carefully, opting for larger, non-aggressive species that can accommodate their size. While generally peaceful, juveniles may exhibit territorial behavior as they mature.
Maintaining stable water parameters—pH around 6.5 to 7.5, temperature 75-82°F (24-28°C), and ample filtration—is crucial for their well-being. As they grow rapidly and can reach significant lengths, a tank of at least 250 gallons or more is recommended. Enthusiasts seeking an impressive, unique addition to their collection will find the Shovelnose Catfish Sorubim Lima a striking and rewarding choice.”
