+1 for Megalodoras! Mine is growing like a weed. My Granulosus is pretty cool too. Always been a fan of Marbled Pim as well, would totally have one if I didn't have to worry about it eating my smaller plecos.

That's cool catfish by a rigorous Meriam-Webster definition. Literally. Or litorrally if you like.
@OP: skim through the thread titles in this forum and you will get an idea. There are ~3,500 described catfish species and about as many, taxonomists guess, undescribed yet. We keep perhaps about 5% of these species.

I think the coolest ones are the bumblebee, dwarf stone catfish, ripsaw catfish, blue tail banjo catfish, tiger shovelnosed catfish and of course the redtailed catfish for exotics.
Local ones you can catch yourself i like the brown bullhead, flathead, blue and channel cats.
Bullheads are super adaptable btw and will easily live with any predatory fish with no issues and do not obtain ridiculous sizes that some other catfish species do.
As for saltwater i am not too familiar with alot of them. But the gaftopsail catfish is rather cool

Lol. No they won't. They are very slow growers. Mine has grown about an inch a year.
Jeez, mine has probably grown 7" within the year, got it at 2" and it's around 9" now
Hikari sinking gold, busted up algae wafers, snails, and the occasional earthworm
Haha I definitely underexagurated. Hopefully they hit 12" before the 3 year mark LOL
