Seen 1 at the local LFS,but was only 3 inches and cost 100 bucks,to rich for my blood!!!

wow then i got a really really good deal. I got mine from a fish store for $40. It was originally $50, but he had been there for over a month, so i got the guy to come down on the price, mine was about 4 inches at the time. But they are definately peaceful. He's one of my more active catfish and a lot of fun to watch swim and to look at.

They have some at a fishstore 217miles from where I live. I actually think of driving there and buy 2 Giraffe catfish. Do you have any idears how I can go there and transport the fish home it is about 3 hours drive and I don't now if they can remain without air and the water will be pretty bad.
If you have any idears I gladly listen :)

this is the homesite to the fishstore that sells them, they have some nice fish there :)
The Giraffe Catfish is 57$ each. I dear say that that is a great deal?

have them use a oxy tank and fill the top of the bag with extra oxygen, thats how they ship fish over night, thats what they did for me when i bought a fish like 2 or 3 hours before i could get it in a tank, it was free but i know places the charge a dollar or 2.
 
I think the giraffe catfish only gets to a size of one foot.
 
They get MUCH bigger. 3ft+. If you were to ever be stung by one, you may need medical attention so watch out for these huge lunkers.
