My catfish

[islandguy11]

Still doing well. I really want to get a good video but so far only swims around when the lights are off

I must admit that I'm not really into catfish but that's for sure one of the cooler looking ones I've seen, love the pattern of its colors. Look fwd to seeing more pix as it grows. How big do they get?

All the info I can find says about 9 inches but there is so little info on this fish it could be a bit more

Quick video of my 125 before I remodel it. Fish are all looking good

So instead of going into an empty cave the Porochilus meraukensis has decided that during the day he will just stick his head into a hole in the driftwood and stand straight up

Best video i could get of Porochilus swimming. When he swims more relaxed it looks even cooler.
Also fixed some quality issued with some of my other videos

Resembles the Siluridae movement to me. Or knife fish. Or eel. They can go forward and backward doing seemingly the same movement of the bottom fin.

So my basement is coming along. Got the electrical work done and got a ceiling put in, it is almost tank ready
Started removing sand from my current catfish tank and ordered an bunch of new caves
Debating what new fish to get I can't decide between Synodontis Clarias or maybe getting another platinum senegal bichir now that my cats are bigger, i could also wait to see what wes gets in in the future.

Built a new cave for the cats
So far only the Platydoras has gone in there the other cats are squeezing themselves into the other ones right now.

The eeltail's tail end is tattered a bit. Hemibagrus or Synodontis doing?
