🤍 Albino Porthole Catfish (Megalechis thoracata) – Peaceful & Hardy Bottom Dweller

The Albino Porthole Catfish (Megalechis thoracata) is a striking albino variety of the popular Porthole Catfish, displaying a creamy white body with delicate pink and golden hues. Known for their unique “armored” appearance and calm schooling behavior, these catfish are excellent additions to community and planted aquariums. 🌿🐠

Unlike many bottom-dwelling catfish, Albino Portholes are active during the day and love to forage in groups. They are hardy, adaptable, and thrive with peaceful tankmates such as tetras, rasboras, livebearers, and dwarf cichlids. Their albino coloration makes them a standout feature in any freshwater setup. ✨
