Conorhynchos conirostris @ Anteater Catfish

Had the chance of keeping it for 2 weeks before sending it to a customer. With that kind of price tag, keeping it that long can be quite scary lol.



Beautiful fish, very active. For an active catfish, they do travel (shipping) well. Unlike the Lince Cat.

Fun fish to have, very interactive. If had the expenses, would definitely keeping 1 or 2

Such a rare sight in our hobby. You don't want to name the price?

There are none of this catfish in the states? For the past few years, a year or 2 before covid i think, there are plenty of them flooded the market. "Plenty" i don't meant by thousands but more than usual.

They tag around RM16000-18000. They used to be priced RM20000, back when they newly entered the market. If converted in usd, around 3500usd. But from what I've seen, the price would probably be the same in the US or yours maybe slightly cheaper.

Thank you for this. I have seen them a handful of times and only in photos.

The closest secondhand of mine was when Vincent Wu showed them in his tanks.

I've never seen them for sale at at this tag it's out of my league by a whole zero or more.
