Claria Batrachus

Common name: Walking Catfish

Origin: Southeast Asia (mainly from India, Bangladesh, and other parts of Southeast Asia)

Optimal living conditions: 24 - 30 °C temperature
6.5 - 7.5 pH
200 l+ sized aquarium

Adult fish size: 30 - 40 cm

Diet: Feed a varied diet of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, shrimp, and small fish. Walking Catfish are omnivores and will also consume plant matter and detritus. They have a large appetite and should be provided with a protein-rich diet to thrive.

Tankmates: Due to their large size and semi-aggressive nature, it's best to house them with other large, robust fish. They can be aggressive and territorial, so provide ample space and hiding spots. Avoid keeping them with smaller or delicate species. They are known to be able to "walk" across land, so a well-secured aquarium lid is important to prevent escape.
