Sturisoma aureum is a large, stately whiptail catfish from the Orinoco and Magdalena basins of Colombia and Venezuela. Its beautifully banded elongated body, pointed snout, and long caudal filaments make it an unmistakable showpiece. It requires a spacious, mature aquarium with driftwood for resting and is an active algae grazer. Breeding in captivity is well-documented and rewarding.
