Couple shots of Calophysus (Vulture Catfish)

[Venom SS]

Just wnated to share a couple shots of my Juvie Vulture cat. He is very cool, and eats everything. Voraciously. If its on the bottom, its dinner. Also very skilled predator, not to be under estimated! About 6" right now, growing like a weed. Should max out around 15" or so.

They are really neat. Several videos of them out there on youtube, and tangledupincichlids.com has them right now. Apparently they arent imported very often, better get one while you can.
