Apurensis catfish ... anyone keeping one of this??

[wayne the pain]

I had one, sold it when i had to move a couple of years ago. Its still in my lfs i sold it too, been thinking of trying to get it back. Think someone on another board i go on had one at 28", need to keep these fish well fed if in with other fish they are not shy at eating there tank mates.

Passed up the oppertunity for one love them though like alot of the members of this family they can and WILL eat HUGE fish compared to there size as you can see with the pleco but that would only be a worm up it could eat much bigger fis

yup, they'll take on anything they can fit in their mouths ... but after the 2nd pleco incident, its a little shy now, also eating lesser ... might have to put him separately soon or worst case to let go ...

How quick did he grow up to 13.5''? Im finding my tsn x rtc picks off his tank mates if I dont toss him in enought food when the lights go out.
