Last night we took my sis to pick up a 125gal set up complete for 200 bucks. The folks had another 125 that had a RTC and some kind of black catfish that were both entirely too huge for that tank! They're both about 2ft long. Anyway, making it short, we talked them out of the two catfish, and we am going to rehome them. Not me literally, but I will find them homes.

I've talked to Malawi Aquatics in St. Louis already, and they want me to bring them there Monday for store credit, which is cool. But, if anyone here is in the STL area and wants them we are willing to part with them. I can take a couple pictures and post them tomorrow when I go back to her house. Let me know if interested.
 
I'd love to have that RTC myself, he's a nice one. The black CF has a little fin damage I'm guessing from te RTC. Other than that they both look real good.
 
im curious as to see what the black catfish is. Im trying to run through all the large black catfish in my head and the list is kinda short.
 
It kind of looks like that leiarius (sp) catfish? Not sure how big those get, but this one's big. Also, it kind of has some brownish light colored spotting or striping on him.

Possible Marbled Pim??

thats probably what it is. I was thinking that or a niger. But nigers are pretty obvious.
 
Out of curiosity, what is usually a fair price to ask for re-homing these cats? The RTC is close to perfect condition, and the black one like I said has the fin damage. Not really looking to make a buck, just for my sis to recover a bit of money to make her deal a little more better.
