"Marbled Shovelnose"???.......

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
might have to wait till the pics come sounds more like a marbled pim like the catfish in the pics from soggydrysuit
 
I'm trying to plan for a pond for this one, hopefully sometime this year. Or a wider tank.

Intersting note on planet catfish about these. Mine is more active the better the water conditions. Do fast it from time to time but not that often. Spots come and go - mood?

Best Regards,

Soggy,

looking forward to seeing other peoples pics!
 
Here is the cat in question...

thats defiantely longibarbus. a really pretty one though.
 
leiarius longibarbis also know as the marbled pim or jaguar catfish
get to around 30'' max and likes a spacious tank to stretch its barbles out or it can become stressed not as much as in leiarius pictus but still makes them more comfertible

eats all sorts of stuff and alot of it

great cat very predatory
 
That's a fantastic RTC/tiger! The marbled really is a cutie...!

If I'm going to do the pond I'd better make it a 6 to 8 by 4 by 2 foot deep. I think mine needs more than two foot tank width and that's now.
