My favorite catfish. I love how much they look like sharks. The only time I've ever seen one in a store it was 230 dollars and I knew that was way too expensive.

Looks a bit thin, bony. Probably from shippers and sellers not wanting it to grow fast and not wanting to feed too much because of the waste. Hopefully, he will start eating for you soon. $75 Canadian? I must have missed, what size? I've seen several 1'-ers at Snookn21 fish-house. They are usually over $100 US, more like $125. There is one ~9" at one of our LFSs for ~$120.

he hasnt eaten for me yet unfortunately. he is about 7" and ya 75 canadian.
 
had abit if an incident last night. the cat has a large wound on his side my original thought was tha maybe the polypterus had a go at him but now i suspect that he scraped himself on something because the cut isnt deep.
 
I finally caved and got him some rosy reds. Just so he had something in his stomach, his wound has healed and he is more active, ill update with more pics soon.

TBTB: to answer your question from the other thread, the cat got about a nickle sized wound on his side, I originally suspected that a poly bit him but after further inspection it appears that he might have just grazed it on some driftwood. I ended up separating him from the rest of the fish and dosing the whole tank with melafix and salt. It was amazing how fast it healed, only took like 4 days and hes back to normal.
