Helicopter Catfish Wallago Attu 10cm

Overview: The Helicopter Catfish (Wallago Attu) is a captivating and rare freshwater species known for its distinctive appearance and fascinating behavior. With its elongated body, unique fin structure, and playful swimming style reminiscent of a helicopter in flight, this catfish adds a mesmerizing touch to any large, well-maintained aquarium.

Origin: Originating from Southeast Asia, particularly in the rivers and tributaries of countries like India, Thailand, and Bangladesh, these catfish thrive in slow-moving waters with ample hiding spots among submerged vegetation and driftwood.

Feeding: Helicopter Catfish are voracious carnivores, preferring live prey such as small fish, insects, and crustaceans. Providing a varied diet including high-quality frozen and live foods will ensure their optimal health and vitality.

Tank Mates: Due to their predatory nature and potential for substantial size (reaching up to several feet in length), suitable tank mates should be chosen carefully. Peaceful, large fish that won’t fit in their mouth, such as large cichlids or other robust catfish species, make suitable companions.

Aggression: While generally peaceful, Helicopter Catfish may exhibit territorial behavior, especially as they mature. Providing ample hiding spots and space can help mitigate potential aggression.

Experience Level: Keeping Helicopter Catfish requires moderate to advanced aquarist experience due to their specific dietary needs, potential size, and the need for a spacious setup that mimics their natural environment.

Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial for the well-being of Helicopter Catfish. Aim for temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH around 6.5-7.5, and moderate water flow. Regular water changes and a well-filtered environment are essential for their health.
