Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Leucistic Granulated Catfish (Pterodoras granulosus)

The Leucistic Granulated Catfish is a rare and beautiful color morph of the Granulated Catfish, characterized by a mostly white body with subtle pigmentation, differentiating it from the fully albino variant. This morph is highly prized as the second most sought-after color variant, just behind the Albino Granulated Catfish, and is appreciated by collectors for its unique appearance and relative rarity.

Be aware that their color patterns will change over time as they grow, so the photos and videos we have may show a different coloration than the specimen you receive.

Like its relatives, the Leucistic Granulated Catfish is a peaceful, hardy bottom-dweller that thrives in spacious tanks with appropriate hiding places and clean water.
