Description
The Gulio Catfish is a large, euryhaline species found in coastal and estuarine waters of the Indo-West Pacific. It is characterized by its robust body and prominent barbels, adapting well to a range of salinities from freshwater to marine environments. This predatory catfish requires a very large aquarium due to its significant adult size.
