Hello everyone, I recently got my act together and got my 75 rolling and I figured I'd share it with you guys. I personally am super proud of how its turned out so far, I only have one fish in it so far but its one I've had a bit of a fondness for. Anyway here's the tank and the fish, props to whoever guesses what it is!
I got the fish yesterday, so she still has some settling in to do.IMG_1582.JPGIMG_1588.JPGIMG_1617.JPGIMG_1620.JPGIMG_1621.JPG

First off I absolutely love the way you scaped it with the driftwood going horizontally and with the Java fern rising up from it and the swords in the front and one on the side. It gives me ideas for my own design so thank you.

Second off I love the fact that it’s a catfish tank and he is a gold Peru something right? I saw them for sale somewhere, maybe exoticfishshop.com.

What are your plans for stocking?

Indeed it is, Megalonema platycephalum to be exact. I plan on getting another one, when i get the funds
I'm gonna keep the rest of my stocking plans a bit of a secret, but thank you I'm very proud of the way it turned out!

Nice tank and cat , In those pictures it actually looks similar to a Pimelodus Ornatus.

They do have quite a similar shape. I'm not sure how they compare in behavior as I have never kept P. ornatus. I want to be able to write up a in depth species profile sorta thing once I get properly acquainted and learn all its ins and outs as its not a fish you see very often. I personally find it a very fun and intriguing fish.
