So what's so great about the Lince catfish? Everyone wants one I don't get it are they great with Rays or other fish or do they just cruse the tank?
I'm pretty sure that if you've seen one in person in a large tank you'd get it. As mentioned beauty is in the eye of the beholder, personally I don't get the whole datnoid thing. But that's just me, to each his own.So what's so great about the Lince catfish? Everyone wants one I don't get it are they great with Rays or other fish or do they just cruse the tank?
That's actually not true. The fish themselves aren't terribly expensive. Once you factor in the near triple digit weight freight bill and high mortality rate, well that explains the high price tag. Last Lince I saw brought in came in a 3x2x2' wooden crate nearly filled to the top with water.Lince cats are one of the most sought after fish in the trade in my experience. They handle transport really poorly and so it reflects their price. This is one of the only fish that is out right more expensive than a high grade red arowana, rivaling close to some select platinum fish. Personally, i want one but not before some certain other collectibles. The nonstop swimming characteristic on the bottom level is awesome though.
