Flesh eating catfish surfacing for food

Just a quick update on my vulture. Poking his head out of the water begging for food

Ehh, as long as he doesn't get the fleshy parts he's pretty gentle. It's when he feels the squish of flesh he'll try ripping it off. Lol

I am not sure if I like your self-sacrificial ichthyological experimentin' ... but it may be helpful for other keepers.

You might wanna give this a read http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?51963-Fish-To-Human-Disease-Transfer-Risks ... plus there is always fish tuberculosis...

That's the candiru. Pretty sure I won't be sticking my fun bits in my tank though. Lol

Geeze lol, my vulture seems so lazy in comparison to yours. Mine just sits in the current all day. He is a bit skittish also. Mainly just sits there. Doesn't get excited at all when I approach the tank lol. You should probably bite your vulture catfish so he knows who's boss!!!
