New catfishes!

Your new guys are still badass but I still think the goonches are the coolest I'm bias though. Sorry about the dorado dude. That guy was a beast

Goonches use to be my favourite catfish too lol. But this pati has since overtook them for my favourite fish.

The eyes on the shovelnose are crazy... They're the coldest looking blue i've ever seen.

The colour of the shovelnose seems to change with diet aswell...

You must have not seen / owned a wyckii aka Crystal blue eyed catfish

I can make out the hints of the usual pattern in the TSN, it appears that just melanin distribution is abnormal - too much of it in the dark areas and too little where the lighter color should be.

This case is similar to this orca-looking IDS (note it also has some orange in the fins), and similar tropical gar and a channel catfish: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...DS-a-striking-freak-of-nature!&highlight=orca

Haha. I've owned a Wyckii but only a 10" specimen... the eyes on this shovelnose are alike ot them.

Stunning Pati Liam...love that Cat.
When I was your age this species was unavailable, probably unknown. It has the body of a Calophysus (Vulture cat) and the mouth of a Brachyplatystoma tigrinum (formerly M. tigrinus)...bizarre Cat, great looker!

The eyes on the Shovelnose (Pseudoplatystoma sp) from what I can see look like cataracts on the cornea rather than being blue. Not a criticism more of an observation.

Congratulations on a fine collection.
