And now for a Banjo lesson...

Some good shots, I hope. I'm messing around with the settings on the camera a little more boldly so the odds have increased of a photo accidentally turning out right.

That's one interesting looking catfish... I've never come across one of these...

They will let clown loaches attack them.
When I was away from work over Christmas and someone thought it was a good idea to move the banjos in with the clown loaches. When I came back, there were little sucker marks on them (my only guess is the clowns thought they were food). They are touch though and have all healed up nicely.

Nice shots.

True about their oblivious nature. Mine doesn't even hardly notice that he's being picked up. Either that or they've successfully refined the delicate art of playing dead beyong its usefulness. My amblydoras nauticus are the same way. You can just pick them up and move them like toy racecars and they don't do much but wiggle lightly after awhile. I'm unsure if they are just that dumb or that good at playing leaf.

believe it or not, they can be active if they are hungry haha
Put food infront of them and they move haha

other than that, very peaceful.....like a dead body haha

Added some worms and he got to moving! That thick, ropey tail is one of his best features. It reminds me of a dreadlock.


First a tank shot:

I came home to find him with sand on his head.

Do you hear them make sounds at night?

Great looking Catfish! I'd imagine that a good sized group would be fun to watch during feeding time, lol.
