A couple more pics, as well as some pics of the Trachy's for ya headbanger_jib!! They came out pretty bad, but that's cause during feedings they're all over the place. So it's really hard to get a decent shot.
LOAD WARNING........It's been awhile..........

Nah they're the Trachycorystes cats that jib was asking about. They get to be about 17 inches and are supposedly very aggressive and planetcatfish reccomends them being kept in a species only tank. How ever I've had 4 and none were aggressive. I wouldn't trust them with anything that can fit in their mouths, but that's pretty much the case with most catfish. You rarely if ever see them for sale. I got mine from Infinite Aquatics back in the day. Though recently I saw Anubias Design with them I believe and I think he was asking $200 plus. Though I'm not positive on the price so don't quote me it might have been alot lower.monster convist;4932634; said:

None of the ones I had were at all aggressive either.
Damn sweet.
Diggin' the shortnose.
Canon EOS Rebel T1i, I really wanted something better but was short on funds and was tired of waiting to buy a DSLR.PennReels84;4932718; said:
Thanx alot! I appreciate that especially since as I've said I think my camera skillz suck. Someone else complimenting then must mean there's potential in my photo'sfishmamma;4932742; said:
Thanx for the giving me "prop's" on my stock too. I take pride in them looking good cause it means that I'm taking good care of them.Thanx man. As far as I know only males develop hump's though I'm no expert, still I'm pretty sure it's only males in most cichlids.m1ste2tea;4932761; said:
Thanx Bro! I know I totally love his pattern he's at least 12 inches right now. He's a Tiger Shovelnose/Achara hybrid, has a mix of the Tiger and the Achara's patterns. He ranges from a deep brown like the Achara to that grey color in the pics like the Tiger. His color is dependent on his mood. He's and the Ornate are the most viewable of my cats rarely hiding. How ever the Ornate is a speed freak and the hardest of the cats to capture in a photo.headbanger_jib;4932819; said:
As for the panning shot's eh, they could definetly use improvement. Thanx though for the compliment.
Thanx bro! Yeah they only fight amongst themselves pushing each other and grunting to get the best hide. True wood cats to the core unable to feel comfortable unless they're wedged in something nice and tight. As for the Shorty, he's one of my presonal fav's. I just wish I could get some bulk on him like the Florida. He's longer and wider than the Florida but not deeper. Seeing him from above he's so much more massive than the Florida, but profile wise he's so skinny. When he eats alot he becomes lumpy, unlike the Florida who just gets swollen through out. Well at least that lumpiness made him one of the fish I own to have a name "Lumpy" lol!channarox;4932911; said:
