Jurunese Catfish 3”

Jurunese Catfish (Gold Zebra / False Tigrinus) – 3”

The Jurunese Catfish, also known as the Gold Zebra or False Tigrinus, is one of the most unique and underrated monster catfish in the hobby. With its bold striping and long flowing tail filament, this species develops into a true showpiece predator as it grows.

At just 3 inches, these juveniles are perfect for grow-out setups and will quickly transform into large, eye-catching fish with proper feeding and care.

Unlike true Tigrinus, the Jurunese offers a similar look at a more accessible price point—making it a must-have for monster fish keepers looking to build a diverse predatory tank.
