  • The Tigrinus is a truly iconic catfish species.  They are large-growing and beautifully marked.  With their distinctive striped tiger pattern, impressive dorsal fin, and extremely long streamers, they are a beautiful and distinctive aquarium addition. 

    Size: 3-4"

    Mature Size: Approx 24-28"

    Feeding: Anchor Essentials Catfish Pellets, Anchor Essentials Bloodworm Ministicks, Frozen Bloodworms.

    Tank and Environment: 40 Gallon at Current Size, XXL Tank as Adults.

    Considerations: Tankmates should be chosen with care as they will eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths.  Otherwise, the Tigrinus makes a fairly passive addition to your aquarium.  They do not like to be pestered by other fish and will often have difficulty competing with them for food.
