Could anyone please I.D this cat?
It is being offered as "Banded Piramutaba".

The place that is selling this has let me down a few times with IDs, so I'm hoping you guys may help.

Here is a pic:

Thanks guys.
Yup, the names made up here in Japan are even more crazy than the west!

I think I will buy this fish now that I can confirm what it is!
¥4000 (about $40) does that sound like an OK price?

Also they have 2 for sale, both are at around 10cm, So I will need to put it in a growout tank before putting it in the Monster tank. How quick will it grow? I don't want to move it in with the big boys till it is around 30cm.

Thanks for your help!
 
Looking closely at the pic, it looks like that juruense is going to have a pretty interesting pattern in the future...

I think you're right.

As for the name... ??? How did they come up with that? Sounds like most everything got lost in translation.

Yeah, Juruense. They get about 18" :)
Yeah, in about a year and a half...


30" isn't unheard of, but the average size is about 24"
