My school of Pimelodus blochii

[Optimist]

Hi everyone. I just got a second pimelodus blochii today. I know two catfish doesn't really count as a "school" but Its cool the way they patrol the tank together. I was really surprised to find another blochii considering they are fairly rare in my area. At 6 inches, they are about the same size as each other too. The guy at the store used a net to catch it and as a result it has a little bit of net caught on its fin, but it should fall off. Here are some pictures:

Those are pretty rad looking, I like the head shape. Neat color pattern aswell.

Just wondering, how big do these guys get? I'm guessing 8''? Thanks

They get around 10".

Thanks dude! That size is just perfect. I've been trying to find some nice looking cats that get over 8'' to go in mith a Cincta pike, Vieja argenteaum, and 3xbleeding heart silver dollars in a 75G. And these look like them. Might drop the Vieja though, wanna add some more silver dollars, and not adding the Vieja would lower my bioload and make for more SD's.

Those are awesome cats though!

Those looks great! One of my old pims had some net caught on its fin it eventually just fell off.

Here are some pictures I took today. These guys just love the camera, but they don't stay still for long.
