The Albino Granulated Catfish is a rare and striking color morph of the standard Granulated Catfish. With its pale, creamy-white body and characteristic granulated texture, this albino variant is highly sought after by collectors and commands a premium price due to its scarcity in the hobby.
Native to South American rivers, this peaceful bottom-dweller maintains the hardy nature and calm temperament of its wild-type counterpart, but with a unique and eye-catching appearance that stands out in large aquariums.
