New Sturgeon Catfish(Platystomatichthys sturio)

[stumanchu]

Got this guy yesterday, never seen one in person before but glad I got it because I guess they're hard to come by! This guy is 3" w/o tail and 4" w tail. I'm currently growing him out in my bare bottom 10g tank with an AC70 for adequate filtration. He's being housed with a 3" L14 "sunshine", 4 corydoras and two 1" Honduran red point/convicts. This guy is awesome! So active and loves the current. Let me know what you think! Enjoy

lol surprised the goonch didn't eat him, but looks amazing. I have seen threads started on these guys but never updates so kudos to you! Keep us updated please.

honestly, I was worried about that too, but the sturgeon cat is super quick and avoids him. Hoping my good luck will last a few more weeks till they get to be upgraded
