Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Asian Redtail Catfish - (Hemibagrus nemurus)

The Asian Redtail Catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus) is a striking predatory freshwater catfish recognized by its vibrant red or orange caudal fin contrasted against a streamlined, silvery-gray body. This powerful species is admired for its beauty and commanding presence, but it is also known for its fast growth and large adult size, making it suitable only for experienced aquarists with very large aquariums or ponds.

Native to rivers, lakes, and reservoirs across Southeast Asia, the Asian Redtail Catfish is an active swimmer that thrives in flowing, oxygen-rich waters. In the wild, it’s an opportunistic predator, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and other aquatic prey.
