Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum is a specialist catfish listing for very large, mature aquariums with powerful filtration, open floor space, and robust decor. Do not mix large predatory catfish with small fish that may be swallowed.
Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum needs specialist compatibility planning. Keep it only with robust, appropriately sized fish in a large aquarium, and avoid any small community fish.
Use the listed diet as the base: Whole fish, prawns, earthworms, large pellets. Offer small portions, vary the foods where appropriate, and remove uneaten food so water quality stays stable.
Check the live stock status, current size, and any variant information on this page before ordering. We pack livestock for tracked UK delivery with live arrival support, and recommend slow acclimation into a mature aquarium after delivery.
