Hangs on the bottom all day till feeding time,the marbled pim on Planet catfish is gold and black,I am thinking this may be a TSN/Marbled Pim hybred??:confused:
 
maybe here's a pic of my old tsn x marble hybrid before it died. Sorry pic was from above as it was too big for any tanks I had at the time I kept it in a pond.

was about 2' when it died. I still have it's skeleton
 
Its hard to tell from the Pic,is the snout on that fish long or short??But otherwise they look the same.I visited the owner of the LFS that i got this guy from,he assures me that he ordered a "Marbled Shovelnose"and that is what they sent him(as if that means anything)I told him that i have never heard of such a fish and he looked at me like i was nuts?!?!
 
dovii you could always post pictures, that would move this process along a hell of a lot faster......;);):D
 
D'you mean something like this? My Leiarius (I think longibarbus)? Can let you know water conditions, feeding if wish?

Sorry if u've seen these before I've posted them previously.

Regards,

Soggy.

BTW in some light this one has rows of spots on it's sides as well as stripes. They are faint...
