I'm thinking about getting a 7 inch one of these guys. Does anyone know information on these guys? I can't find much on the internet. Thanks
 
From a maintenance and personality standpoint, these guys are nearly identical to their relatives the marble cat. They are very easy to take care of, eat just about anything, and mine has never shown any aggression with the exception of chasing fish out of his cave.

Mine seems to have stopped growing at about 22". He also eats from my hand and let's me pet him at the same time. They are great catfish in my opinion. One thing to note, though, is the giant sail fin gets smaller as the fish gets larger and the cream stripe on the side fades as well.
