My new Walking Catfish (Clarias Catfish)

[the420buzz]

Picked this guy up a few days ago as I've wanted a nice sized catfish for my 125 for a while. He's settling in nicely, besides developing a grudge with my male convict who, I found out, was defending eggs. Anyways, I just figured I'd post a pic of him on here and see what everyone thinks of him. Also, if anyone else keeps Walking Catfish, feel free to let me know some tips on keeping him/her.

Strangely i've always thought my mottled one looks like a cow too.....

Just keep an eye on him for fin nipping and hunting your other fish, other than that i've found them to be a great catfish often active during the day. Nice buy.
