Aren't those the cats that grow to like eight feet long? What type of tank do you have?

I REALLY want to see pics of this guy in-tank. From that top down shot you posted, he looks strikingly like B. rutilus.

+1 the fins and coloration in general look like it to me too rob, they only get about 3-4 feet so your 1600 would be fine for life I would imagine
