Hey all,

here are some updated pics of my panaque.

I really love this fish and never imagined that it would be such a cool fish. It is actively searching for food all day, beggs for pellets and veggies at the corner he usually get's it when I walk in the room and it's a very impressive fish to watch and obsurve. Only thing is that he's quite good with his spines and gives any fish that comes to close a whack, but notthing serieus luckely.



Here is he attacking the piece of courgette he gets, he does this for about a minute every time and then starts eating.

Here he is grinding away, can you see the structure of his skin?

He's quite good in taking weird positions when he's eating the veggies.

Impressive fish and shots.
 
Damn nice Panaque !!!!! Can't wait until mine gets that big...How old is he anyway????
 
Thanks! No clue about the age, it was wild caught this size (or maybe a little smaller).
