Thanks dude, I appreciate your feedback and yeah trust me I'll definitely keep you guys updated I. Not gonna lie I'm a little scared to move her, given how frail they seemed when it comes to shipping. When I got this fish originally I didn't think she was gonna make it as when I received her, she was laying on her side and breathing rather slowly. However I'm fairly confident I can do it properly so long as I'm diligent enough.

Brian took the exact words off my tongue. I love this.

Where is the alleged skittishness? You hand feed the fish and photograph it each and every way you want, both in full lights?

BTW I find your photography artsy and tasteful, just like the tank is, but it too may cause a neck strain for some older or less flexible folk... No need to change anything. Just saying.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words. Although I suppose I could just be used to other catfish I've have who were never bothered by much of anything, so I guess exaggerated on my end and I apologize. However its typically things like if I have to get stuff out of the tank stand or if I move around in front the quickly and other things of that nature.
I'm still curious as to whether or not they'd school, however I'd have to see how they do with other benthic species first.
