The Banjo Catfish (Bunocephalus coracoideus) is a highly nocturnal bottom-dwelling fish from South America, recognized for its unique, guitar-like shape and excellent camouflage. During the day, it completely buries itself in soft sand or leaf litter. This fish can also "play dead," an evolutionary defense mechanism that helps it avoid predators by mimicking a fallen leaf or stick.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes, you can order fish along with dry goods. However, if the dry goods are heavy or bulky, it may be more cost-effective to place two separate orders. In that case, you could ship the dry goods using a slower, more affordable shipping option.

If your order has not shipped yet, you can email us your correct shipping address, and we will update it for you.

On weekdays, if we receive your order before 2 p.m., it will be shipped out the same day. Dry goods are shipped from Monday to Friday. Orders that include livestock are only shipped from Monday to Thursday to avoid transit over the weekend.

At checkout, you can leave your request in the comments box.

Our locker boxes are located in the foyer of our store at 230 Hanlon Creek Blvd, Unit 107, Guelph. The room is accessible from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
