$49.99

One of several Amazonian giants in the genus, the Laulau Catfish is found throughout the entire Amazon Basin and is thought to undertake lengthy migrations throughout its lifespan. Typically found in the fast-flowing main river channels, they use their long, sensitive barbels to locate food. In the aquarium, they will do best in large aquaria with plenty of open swimming space and moderate to strong water movement.
