Awesome cat! I hope it retains those markings on top. Beautiful! Funny how it was trying to swim under the ray and the ray wasn't gonna budge.

Wow, that seems almost non-existent in the hobby. No entry on PCF, no pics in FishBase, google shows 2 photos...

Yeah.. my buddy from Indonesia insisted that I have these. He told me that although these cats are not expensive, they are rare and they school super super tight. He knows I love fish that school

It will retain it's blk spotting.. as this is usually an undesirable trait. I didn't have many options when it came to buying Shortbodied/semi-sb golden rtcs Been waiting for 2 years for one. A member on here had a golden sb rtc that was amazing looking for sale some 2.5 years ago.. but upon further research.. that catfish was never actually in the states. The MFK member was only acting as an agent for the actual seller who was in Thailand.
