I have the skeleton to this one still. Makes me sad that I never got to grow him out to his true monster size. Does your's only have one eye also? I'm curious if fish with only one or no eyes eat more aggressively to make up for the lack of vision. I.E. they are more opportunistic since they can't see.

Something I've never understood is why the black and white one is a 'tiger catfish' and the black and yellow one is a 'zebra catfish'. I don't like that.

Anyway, good thread. I personally prefer the normal looking ones that are black with the yellow stripes to the look of the ones that are yellow with the black markings. Something about they yellow ones just doesn't look right t me.

Speaking of not looking right, can anyone tell me why my jur is freaking bright purple? I hate this. I want her normal colors to come in.

@chixulub : your tank base is clear ? It's probably the reflection of the lights off the tank base that causes the coloration you don't want

It looks close to normal, a weak purplish hue, if the color is rendered true. I'd not worry.

I can also be the lighting, reflections, and its mucus layer paying tricks, as well as water composition and a diet, I imagine.

What I mean though is that I always see fish looking like the one I'm attaching. Mine has a much stronger purplish color though and lacks the yellow in its stripes. Will she get colors like this as she gets bigger? Shes's about 9" right now....

It'd appear the whole thread is more or less your answer (quite contraditory at the moment)
