I cannot have the name right or I would have found the information on searches!! The fish grows to about a foot, saw both Albino and spotted, looks like a cross between an arowana and a catfish....weird wide shallow mouth! Any idea what I am talking about??:popcorn:

i have the two you mentioned above too
Thanks! Thats the one! just read they grow to 18"....how do they do with other cats??
 
no problem, as for tankmates, i've only had them for a month now with 2 baby oscars in a 29 and they eat like pigs. before a rearranged things, i had a bumblebee cat in with them and a Mystus vittatus. as long as they get a spot to hide everything will be okay. i'll take some new pics later.
