Frank the tank. One big Rapheal catfish.

This guy came to me from a very close friend who snagged it from a local fish store as a trade in.

I've never seen one even close to this size. Curious if you guys have?

Everyone looks great. I've never seen one that size. They are one of my favorite small catfish. Always liked them. Really funny seeing him scoot along on his big fat belly. Has to work at it to get his nose on the ground. Is that a ripsaw as well under the wood sticking out. Who's sitting up on top of the wood on the perch?

I'll help make it easier for everyone. Definitely worth the watch.

He really does have to work to get his face in the sand. That thing's belly is seriously grape fruit sized. Guessing 10-11" long? Most of the fish in there are well over a foot, knife is probably 2'.

There's several Irwinni in there, a big m/f (supposedly) pair from the O'Malley collection (female's 19"), and I think there's 2 little ones in there as well, along with 2 Sun cats. The big Irwinni is the one sitting in the driftwood.

Awesome community of fearsome fish and no one bears any marks of violence. Amazing!

http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=880 Platydoras armatulus reaches 8" SL, which ~10" TL. So not a record but yes, I've never seen a 10"-11" one. Probably the biggest I've seen was ~6" too.
