Porthole Shovelnose CatfishOverview:® The Porthole Shovelnose Catfish, known for its sleek, elongated body and distinctive shovel-shaped snout, is a captivating addition to any large aquarium. These peaceful fish are nocturnal predators and exhibit unique hunting behavior, making them a fascinating species to observe.
Origin: ®Native to the slow-moving rivers and floodplains of South America, particularly the Amazon and Orinoco river basins, this catfish thrives in freshwater environments with dense vegetation.
Feeding: ®As a carnivorous species, Porthole Shovelnose Catfish prefer a diet of meaty foods, including live or frozen prey such as shrimp, small fish, and bloodworms. They may also accept high-quality carnivore pellets or sinking foods.
Tank Mates: ®Ideal tank mates include other large, peaceful fish that can handle the same water conditions, such as large tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other non-aggressive catfish. Avoid keeping them with small fish, as they may be mistaken for food.
Aggression: ®Generally non-aggressive, this catfish is peaceful towards similarly sized or larger tank mates. However, it may exhibit predatory behavior towards smaller fish.
Experience Level: ®Intermediate. Due to their size, predatory nature, and specific water requirements, the Porthole Shovelnose Catfish is best suited for aquarists with some experience in maintaining larger freshwater fish.

Pink and purple perfection
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Purple, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Purple
Fits great and perfect colors for my (not so) little. This is her first pair of "tie" shoes so we're still learning, but the laces are a good length for teaching and practicing. She says they're very comfortable too.

My son destroys shoes, same thing happened here.
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Black
For some reason my son started doing the duck walk at school and while performing this little trick for his classmates he ripped the rubber that wraps over top the toe. Now, instead of being glued up and into place, its basically sagging down. Thankfully that's the only thing that's gone wrong with these and honestly this sort of wear and tear is not typical. What I would say is that if your child is rough on shoes, I would pass on these. They are very nice, very light weight and are great for school. However, due to the design, they might not best good for some kids.
In terms of sizing and comfort, my son wears a 5 and these fit him very well. He has wide feet like his dad, and these don't bother him at all. He's says they're very comfortable and does enjoy wearing them.
