New Oddball Coming To Oddball's Tanks

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
is it a defect the no eye thing or is it just a fish that has evolved to live in a very dark place ?

looks nice i think all shovelnose cats have bad eyesight and just hunt with the wiskers

will this get as big as a normal TSN
 
I'm curious as to whether that would be considered a different species, and if so, how recently it branched off from the regular iger shovelnose. In extreme conditions that kind of speciation would be extremely rapid. I also wonder what the results of breeding that with a normal TSN would be. Would they breed at all? would you get a blending of features, minus albinism, which is usually recessive, and have a het TSN with extremely limited vision or no eyes at all? that's really unique, and great job scoring one of those. I can tell you're gonna really enjoy having it.

Just secured this oddie. Sorry for the rotten pic. I (DUH!!) saved it as a bitmap and then, converted it to a gif. Looks like what comes out the other end. Anywho...This cat is awaiting my arrival in Orlando next week. It's a 15" blind "cave" tiger shovelnose catfish. Should look great in the new 250gal I ordered for arrival on the 14th. (I actually ordered the tank for S&G but, this cat should look great in it).
