Who has the catfish of my Avatar?

[woodysun-Taiwan]

Yes, it's very rare and I think it's the only one in Taiwan.
It has very small mouth and shiny skin.
The most important is the max size is 100cm...
It's the most cute monster...

congratulations

C. conirostris, known in Portuguese as the pirá, is a unique catfish species endemic to the São Francisco, distinctive for its lack of dorsal flattening typical of catfish, an unusual proboscis-like mouth, and a blue soft outer skin. The species feeds mainly on molluscs, but also eats insect larvae and pupae, worms and micro-crustaceans. The fish is still significant to fisheries below the Três Marias Dam, but appears practically extinct above it.

Oh and by the way, PIRA - means fish

Wa~
Man, what a wonderful sharing! Thanks!
It's so cute, isn't it.
This fish is not easy to keeping, as you know, it has a proboscis-like mouth.
So, I must feed this fish many times in a day, but I really enjoy it.
I keep this fish 3 years, and from 35cm to 50cm+.
I hope can get another one to be his mate.
But, it's too difficult...
Did you ever seem this fish before?

I think that is one rare catfish. Also, credit should be given to where the information came from, or it would be plagiarism, unless you wrote it yourself. Great find woody !!

Whoops!!! Didn't mean to mess up the systems!

It was taken from a website, well It was taken from one of my old mans books (he is a MFK, but he started the trend back in the 50's) I think he is one of the leading pioneers of MFK in Aus! LOL

If you need answers, ask him!

I also found the infomation on it from

http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-58881-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html I am guessing it says the same stuff on there, and since I can't find the book atm...

yeah.


Sorry for the copying!!!

(the Pira means fish, that was ALL ME!!! WHOO!!)

LOL
