I finally got a lima yesterday. I just thought I would show some pictures since I got so much advice from everybody about which catfish I should get. Thanks to everyone for their input. I can already tell what everybody means by strange behavior. They are definitely a different type of catfish. He hides out in a plant all day long waiting for the feeders to run by and strike. He hasn't been successful yet as far as I can tell and doesn't seem interested in anything else, but he seems healthy and happy. He does have a mark of some sort on his nose that seems to be some type of scratch, but he is very interesting and very different than the RTC I decided to take back to the store, who I saw today and seems to be doing very well. Here is a pic of him patiently waiting for another feeder to miss:

Thanks for everyone's advice. This lima is going to have a good home.
 
ooo he looks like a beaut. good quality picture as well! hes a young buck honing his hunting skills. im sure he will soon become healthy and fat!
 
Congrats on a great looking fish!
 
Great looking cat my lfs has 2 of then I wasalso contemplating one.
 
I just got one yesterday as well, about 5 inches. Like yours, mine just sits in a plant all day, watching and waiting. Definitely a cool looking fish.
 
I just got a pair last night... They are difference from yours, they swim almost every part of the tank:confused: I house them with a 16" black aro, a pair of irwini cat, a pair of motoro rays and a niger cat in a 180g:)
