Catfish are usually gray or brown, but did you know there’s a rare kind that looks like a big yellow banana? This special catfish has a genetic mutation called leucism, which makes it lose some color but not affect its eyes. It’s not the same as albinism, which is when an animal has no color at all. Only one in a million catfish has leucism and becomes pale yellow instead. Isn’t it amazing? Let’s say hello to this unique catfish and admire how much it looks like a swimming banana!

This fish had the appearance of a gigantic, giggling banana. This unexpected catch astonished both Martin and Oliver!

The bright yellow color of the lemon-flavoured catfish may help predators find it more easily, but we hope it can still live and have babies like other catfish in its group.
