Akysis Longifilis

Hello!

I got my hands on three Akysis Longifilis yesterday. I'd never seen, or heard of them before but thought they were cool so I bought them. Just 3 bucks a piece. Does anyone have any experience with them?

100% sure! Never seen them in sweden before. Are they rare in the US aswell?

They are ferocious eaters by the way. Seems like there is no end to how much they can swallow...

Hey that's a really cool looking catfish. How is its personality?

They usually spend all day half burried in the sand. So you don't see them very much...
