All of my favorite catfish pics(of mine): Mods- please do not move to photo lounge because i have added interesting(to me) tidbits in some of the fish and i would llike to here some people's opinion that know lots about cats and may not visit the photo lounge:D

Lima shovelnose(sorubim lima) I've been looking at various lima pictures, and to be honest with you, i think there's a few different species all classified as sorubum lima. Some have spots around them, some don'e. Some have broader "shovels" (often those that have spots), some don't. This may account for the fact that breeding limas in captivity has not been acheived to my knowledge.

Tiger Shovelnose (psedoplatystoma fasciatum). Apparently ichtyologists have divided the three known species into eight with the varying bone structures.

Common pleco (hypostomus sp. and other "hypos").
This guy was a rescue but died shortly after i got after getting stuck between a rock and a peice of driftwood:(

This guy is 17'', also a rescue and still alive. Currently around the 15 to 17'' mark, and i think stunted:( (rescued from a 30 gal tall:(:()

Thanks...the only cats that aren't mine are the marbled and the lima. All the pics are mine :D More pics coming up in a sec.
 
Okay

Panda cory(Not sure which corydoras species, pretty sure it's not a corydoras panda, but i call it one anyways. lol. I've also kept a spotted cory and an albino, whichever species those are. This guy was one of my first fish, and the hardiest. Survived all the thing a newbie fish could throw including unheated water, gravel bottom instead of fine sand or somethin', bad water, tank full of hungry crayfish(which killed my albinos) and a tank full of hungry evil cichlids- well, actually thats the tank he died in...)

Lima Shovelnose (Sorubim Lima- again) It would be interesting to compare DNA samples between various sorubim and maybe sorubichtmys species. I wonder if Sorubim Lima holds two species, or if the spotted one is just a subspecies or a normal variying thing between the species. If it does turn out to be a new species, I think it should be called Sorubim Punctatus:D Sorry, i know the pic is blurry, forgot to put the camera on macro.
