Amur sleeper

[vitaly]

Got this guy last year. he was sold as bait here in kiev. they are invasive species here in ukraine. originally from Amur river, but they've spread all over europe and asia.
this guy is pretty cool, the only downside is that he is not all that active. only comes out at night.

Sweet as man are they cold water then. Need to get my hand on one how big can they get.

they get about 14cm. so not big at all. they are suppose to be cold water, but my guy is doing fine with tropicals.
this is him as a baby last year

We have some Native sleepers here in the US too, Ive heard they can be cool aquarium fish.
