Parrot Catfish (Rhynchodoras woodsi)

One of the more unusual looking species of wood catfish, the Parrot Catfish is called the ‘mutante’ (mutant) in its native Peru due to its unusual snout and overall strange appearance. A shy and somewhat cryptic species, it is best kept with peaceful, slow moving tankmates. These catfish are largely nocturnal and will often only search for food at night, especially at first.
