Don't see those around lol where'd you find him? An intriguing cat, I like how the bottom jaw protrudes like a trap. It's piscivorous so may be hard to break, I've not seen much about them then again I've not really looked either. They get to a good size too. Nice score imo for sure

I've never seen one before; I assumed piraiba because juveniles have spots and look similar...then again, I didn't have a clear look at the fish. How big do they get? This fish is a new one for me.

Nice shovelnose catfish. A rare one too, how big do these get? Do they grow to monsterus sizes?

Some write ups ive seen say they like a tad bit colder temps (68 to 75). But have seen older threads on mfk where they members say theres did fine in 80. Im thinking the vulture and jur wi be ok with 76 to 78 and find a happy medium.

Offered blood worms and pellets dont think its eaten. Tried some small pieces of shrimp this morning

From what ive read they get between 18 and 21 inches.
