Eclipse / Solar / Sunspot Catfish

[Kanta]

These are very nice catfish. Active and eat very well. But fair warning. the first website you listed (aqualandpetsplus) should not be trusted. The store is junk with bad fish that always get sick and the people are not knowledgeable. They copy paste all their info to their site from others.

I just bought a suncat the other day from my LFS.
He's a great addition to my community tank. As everyone else stated, they are nocturnal, i have a hollowed out stump that he LOVES to hide in during the day with the clown loaches.
At night he swims all over the place. I drop in a few veggie rounds and sinking shrimp pellets after i turn out my light and hes goes everywhere.
Great addition to the tank to have!

Edit: Mines about 5"

I have a HUGE one in my community tank. He swims with plecos african chiclids a senegal a bahia red an upside down cat and 2 peacocks. Here is a pic I took recently, measured out to 15" and I am going to move him from a 75 to my 150 as soon as it's cycled.

He grew from 2" to 15" in approximately 8 years.
