My Cephalosilurus Catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome cat! Cephalosilurus was actually the fish that got me into keeping monsters. I especially love them because I've never seen a more grumpy fish. Mine literally used to get mad at ornaments that got in his path while swimming and bug out on them. He pushed, pulled, bit and bulldozed rather than deviate from his course as if to say how dare this thing not move when it sees me coming. Plus I loved the belly flattening begging he used to do as he pressed hard against the tank front with his mouth pointed up out of the water.
 
I def agree. I have had a lot of various cats and this species is very unique in terms of demeanor. I haven't had him that long but he was eating and bulldozing his way through the tank the moment he went in. When he ran across my pleco who is about twice his size he bumped into him, stopped for a moment, and then kept ramming him and trust me my pleco is no pushover. Awesome fish for sure and I'm glad I could get one as I've never seen them sold in my neck of the woods before.
