Here comes my first monster catfish!!!

[Experiment397]

ok so yes the title may make you think tigrinus or rtc, but its actually an ornate pim, pimelodus ornatus. which is in my opinion just as monster as a shovelnose or marbled pim. they remind me of a small rtcxtsn, with the body shape and attitude of see food eat food. i have 4 days left till i get him!! he is also gonna be practicaly free!!! just can't wait!!!

My fish survive 30 minute trips from the LFS to my house so yours should be fine.

oh im not worried about him not surviving. i have a 5 gallon bucket or a 2.5 glass that i can hook up a little filter too so he could easily live several days in their, also got a way to hook the filter into the car so it works. i cant wait!!!

You're going to use all of that just for a 15 min. transport? Anyway, congrats on the new cat, Ornate pims look really nice once they get to a decent size.

no just saying i have the stuff if i ever need it

looks like a cool fish
BTW, most fish go hours in a bag during shipping, sometimes over a day.
15 mins is nothing to worry about
