I have one in my pond....however, cuz the pond walls are black...it reflects that colour! haha. Brilliant fish that is always on the move.

Very very tempted!
Sore one advertised recently but just didnt have any spare cash availabe & was concerned how it would fit in with my current babies.

 

[Poklei]

i think these catfish are protected

I don't think they are Poklei. I looked the best i could and didn't find anything that said they were. I actually read several sites reporting that they were imported and sold at their LFS.

No, they are not protected if one means CITES. Perhaps, locally, somewhere they are. They are available in the trade. AFAIK, no permits are needed in the US.
