[Miles]

They call it "Mota Pindata".. Seldom seen in the trade, AKA Vulture Catfish..

CAN'T WAIT

Very cool.

Looks awesome

Looks about as spectacular as any pictus, ornate or white line. Your in luck though because I think all of them are great fish, so this one is great also. How big do they get?

 

[Miles]

Those guys are about 8" and I couldn't really find any definate info on them as far as max size..

They are alot more interactive then normal pims from what I understand, if you notice in the bottom picture they are begging for food like Cichlids And those are fresh caught out of the river! I think they might be a good step above your common Pim

If I am not mistaken nether pictus nor white line have been bred in captivity, they are also wild caught.

Both my pictus and white line beg for food.
