Porthole Shovelnose CatfishOverview:® The Porthole Shovelnose Catfish, known for its sleek, elongated body and distinctive shovel-shaped snout, is a captivating addition to any large aquarium. These peaceful fish are nocturnal predators and exhibit unique hunting behavior, making them a fascinating species to observe.
Origin: ®Native to the slow-moving rivers and floodplains of South America, particularly the Amazon and Orinoco river basins, this catfish thrives in freshwater environments with dense vegetation.
Feeding: ®As a carnivorous species, Porthole Shovelnose Catfish prefer a diet of meaty foods, including live or frozen prey such as shrimp, small fish, and bloodworms. They may also accept high-quality carnivore pellets or sinking foods.
Tank Mates: ®Ideal tank mates include other large, peaceful fish that can handle the same water conditions, such as large tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other non-aggressive catfish. Avoid keeping them with small fish, as they may be mistaken for food.
Aggression: ®Generally non-aggressive, this catfish is peaceful towards similarly sized or larger tank mates. However, it may exhibit predatory behavior towards smaller fish.
Experience Level: ®Intermediate. Due to their size, predatory nature, and specific water requirements, the Porthole Shovelnose Catfish is best suited for aquarists with some experience in maintaining larger freshwater fish.

Great beginner friendly sublimation printer
Style: Starter Bundle
I have had this for a few months now and I will say still getting the hang of sublimation but it was easy to set up. I wish it was compatible with a tablet. I had to use my daughters laptop instead but it was worth every penny. Great entry level sublimation printer!
