{"product_id":"fish-catfish-banjo","title":"Banjo Catfish | Bunocephalus sp.","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanjo Catfish are flattened, leaf-like catfish that hide in the substrate. The stock name does not confirm an exact species, so this product is identified as Bunocephalus sp.; the guidance below covers the commonly traded B. coracoideus-type banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBehaviour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMostly nocturnal and easily overlooked during daylight. Common banjos reach around 15 cm; plan for this adult size. They can be kept singly or with their own kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTank Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur recommended minimum is 90 litres with an 80 × 35 cm footprint for one or two common banjos. A wide base and usable sand area matter most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually peaceful with tetras and other non-aggressive fish. Avoid boisterous feeders that take every sinking meal. Compatibility and final size should be reassessed if the supplier confirms a different species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace sinking carnivore pellets or thawed bloodworm near its resting area after lights out. Check with a dim light that it actually feeds; daytime invisibility does not mean it can survive without food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the common banjo, maintain 24–26°C, pH 6.0–7.5 and 2–20 dGH. Provide soft sand, wood and shaded hiding places. Locate buried fish before siphoning. Test ammonia and nitrite at zero; change 25–30% weekly. Confirm exact species before combining with specialist setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLive Animals Are Click and Collect Only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Order online for collection at Newlands Home \u0026amp; Garden Centre, Clondalkin.
