Freshwater Fish
Banjo Catfish.
A master of camouflage, the Banjo Catfish has a flattened, mottled brown body shaped like its namesake instrument, letting it vanish against the substrate. This quiet, nocturnal bottom-dweller spends much of the day buried or motionless.

Live animals are sold in store only — we do not ship fish, coral, or invertebrates. Every animal is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it reaches the sales floor. This is a species we carry — it's most likely in the tanks around delivery days, but live stock changes daily. Please call (814) 456-9445 to confirm availability before you drive in.

Good tank mates
A peaceful companion for community fish too large to be swallowed; it ignores its tankmates entirely.
Good to know
When threatened it can stay perfectly still and camouflaged, relying on its leaf-like shape rather than fleeing.
