Background info:
The distribution of the Tiger Shovelnose catfish includes the great river basins of South America: the Amazon, Orinoco, Paraná, São Francisco, Magdalena, Rupununi, Essequibo, and Suriname River. Tiger shovel nose are all large, boldly striped or spotted catfishes. They are familiar due to their distinctively marked color patterns. They are also recognized due to a depressed head, anoccipital process extending backward to contact the predorsal plate, and a very long fontanel.After gonadal maturation, females tend to grow faster than males.They have a large, depressed head with an expandable mouth. The eyes and teeth are small. They have dorsal and pectoral fin spines, there is also an additional, smaller, dorsal spinelet preceding the dorsal spine. They exhibit typical barbels of catfish, the maxillary barbels sometimes being quite long, especially in juveniles. Juveniles are quite different in appearance from adults. These fishes' juvenile coloration differs from their adult coloration, and the patterning is different. In the juvenile, the fish is dark on its back with an obvious boundary between the white of its sides and belly. The adult colour is brown-olive, with about 13 or 14 dark transverse bands reaching up to the belly, which is white with a few dark spots. Juvenile Pseudoplatystoma are marked as ornamental fish in both North and South America; however, they are usually at a size too small for certain identification, but more than one species may be imported. These species appear in the aquarium hobby, where they are most often sold under the name "tiger shovelnose" or "tiger shovelnose catfish". These fish prove to be hardy. However, the large adult size is problematic for both matters of housing as well as finding suitable tankmates that will not be consumed. With the appetite these fish have, finding enough good food may present some difficulty.
