is this a Raphael cat?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I actually just picked up my first one last night. He sang when i pulled him out of the bag and i thought it was so cool. Hes about 4 inches, and somehow had mad it into the tank next to the original one he was in. (maybe when the decor was moved from tank to tank??) I like him.
 
They're neat, but you'll never see much of it during the day. If you can handle the YEARS it takes to grow one out to 10" or so, you'll have a stunning cat on your hands.
 
i got mine a 1.5 - 2" and it is now 3" i've had it for 3-5 years. didn't see it for the first 2 years i've had it. now every 1-3 months i see it. was in a 100g for 2yrs and a 150 for 3 years. i've fed the plecos the pellets, zuchini, and other vegetables. guess they grow very slowly... GL
 
JUst bought 3 pcs of about 5" . Seem so nice
 
i have a raphael spotted catfish i hadnt seen him for 2 months i thought he was dead then one night after i turned out the lights a saw him i had a big striped one 6 inches i gave to my friends dad and he was nocternal too both mine hid till the tank lights were out and would freak out if there was movement outside the aquarium
 
I had a spotted raphael for about two or three years. I never once saw it, even at feeding time, until the other fish that were in its tank died of ich. It was probably the most boring fish that I've ever kept.
