Does anyone else have one?
I love mine, he's so active, and his whiskers are loonnngggg.
Its awsome to see him eat, and then the little...or should i say big marble he gets in his stomach.
 
I have two, and my family love mine so much that my dad, brother, and gf bought one for themselves, ill put a picture up later, i have to get em off my camera
 
mine was very active until i put him in the 200gal and he figured out he can hide!!:screwy: and so now he just hides but when i put food in the water you better get out of his way!! The funny thing is he and my niger hide right next to each other and he thinks he can push my niger around...:grinno:
i've seen tiny lillte marks on his skin where it lookd like hes scraped himself on my niger. he's such a tard
 
Whats the biggest these guys get?
Does anyone have any cool pics?

He was around 10 inches I believe. He was a great fish. Very active. He ruled the bottom of the tank, and he didn't make life easy on my clown loaches and bichirs, so I sold him.

I did not realize that they get that big, I've got one that is about 5" got him with a used 55g tank.

I believe they reach around a foot
 
a foot is large 10 inches is avarige and some cases of up to 16 inches have been recorded but mostly in small ponds and such.
