I saw the fish on exoticfishshop, but couldn't find the scientific name.I once knew the scientific name but that was a good while back. I did a bit of googling and came up with
Piramutana pitramuta
Fishnerd360 don't think just googling a name you're given will always give you the information you want, you have to google anything you can come up with that might get you closer to what you wanted. I googled gold catfish then went to images. Most of them were suncatfish but I found an image or two from bluegrassaquatics that showed a fish that looked very similar then I googled the scientific name of said fish.
They go by Megalonema platycephalum now I believe. I may have said this earlier in the thread?I once knew the scientific name but that was a good while back. I did a bit of googling and came up with

From what I can tell they reach about 10in. maybe 12in. which I feel might be a lil big in a 75 imo, So I plan to upgrade at some point before it reaches that size. Yes unfortunatly there's very little info out there. If you have any more questions you're more then welcome to askHow big do your catfish get, I tried looking up gold peru catfish, but cant get any info?
You did and I missed it, sorry about that bud, my reading skills aren’t the best apparently haha.They go by Megalonema platycephalum now I believe. I may have said this earlier in the thread?
Oh no worries, tbh I wasn't totally sure I mentioned it. I'm a lil out of it today honestly. ?You did and I missed it, sorry about that bud, my reading skills aren’t the best apparently haha.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it ?Nice scape, and cat. Looks really good so far.
