Tommy, be careful! Someone has been seriously chewing up your bumblebee. All the fins are seriously damaged.

******************

Tommy, I have found your old thread, which you BTW hijacked from Justarn but perhaps this is borderline acceptable, even though I'd rather you haven't.

I appreciate you trying though. I much prefer all posts on any given fish to be in one thread. But this is my preference, not an MFK policy (regrettably IMHO). It would make everyone's homework 1000x easier if this rule were implemented. It'd help our interaction too (as we could read the history of any fish right there in the same thread before replying or making comments and instead of making searches and wondering if the poster made any other post prior on this fish...) and also eliminate unnecessary redundancy.

I merged your new thread with the old.

******************************

Ron, Jason, after some initial confusion YellowCat thinks this is some unidentified species of the genus Pseudopimelodus, as you correctly pointed out belonging to the larger group of commonly called SA BB catfishes.

I would have kept the other thread, not on here too much now a days. Sorry for confusion! And he looks very different from my giant BB cat. I have them both, the shape, mouth, fins, are much different. The way the Act is too. And yes, his fins are a little torn up, those pics make them look very bad but they aren’t as bad as they look. I had some cats growing out and I was taking some out one by one, I think it was my tig grow out nipping them. I will get more pics of this guy when he gets a little bigger.
