It has a flat "shovelnose" head and has dark black and silver bands the length of its body. It also has long whisker-like barbels around its mouth. This fish is not particularly aggressive, but may eat any small fish that can fit into its mouth. Keep with other large tankmates like pacu, tinfoil barbs, large cichlids and similar fish. The tank should have plenty of open space with little to no decorations. Banded Shovelnose Catfish may only eat live foods like feeder fish and shrimp in the aquarium. With time and patience, they may be able to be weaned onto prepared or frozen foods
