Silver catfish? Could you please give the scientific name or post a picture since silver cat could cover a wide range of cats.

good luck on your build to bro, hope you are already looking for a 2000 gallon for your rtc

I'll try to get a better pic Lfs had it marked as silver cat, he hides most of the time and if he comes out he's always moving

Your silver catfish looks like either pimelodus blochii or albofaciatus

Blochii: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=653

Blochi looks a lot like it
it was kind of just a test I'm going to use that on on my new 45 gallon
I'm thinking double the size and put it in a rubber maid tote which I already have

any advise on the filter or things I should do? I've been doing lots of research and these seem to be pretty good
