I'v had this catfish for a year now, and he's grow from 3in to 7in, i think he is by far my favorite catfish, does any one else keep them, and any pic's?

Wow, I really like it, I think I'll have to look for one. How aggressive is he?

They are gorgeous, but too small to keep with any of my other cats.

He's not to bad, a very lazy cat, come's to life just before light's out looking for food, he eat's 2-3 lance fish a night and doesnt let my oscar's get a look in, good luck with your search let me no if you ever get lucky to find any, this is the only one i have ever seen.

They are stunning, almost like a mottled gold colour, i'v just been looking at your cat's i think he would end up on the dinner menu

They are always on dealers list's from Africa, but retailers never seem to get them mine tried to eat a 12" Chrysichthys sp, was stuck with it head in its mouth, when i seperated them Chrysichthys sp just had a ring round its head, was lucky really could of lost them both.coppery sheen on them has to be seem, words just dont do it justice.
