Alright, to my knowledge this has never been a thread before. Butthe loach thread has clown loaches. But there are catfish that prefer to school as opposed to the typical loner that people typically see.

So heres the deal i want to know what your monster school looks like. Some schooling cats are monsters (Pangasius cats have been seen in large schools) others are not monsters but come in monster groups (Cories, Otos, USD cats)

My monster school is 9 upsidedown catfish (synodontis nigriventis)
 
there are youtube videos of Wels catfish in groups of 3 or more. Thats pretty neat to see.
 
Horabagrus Brachysoma are schoolers. My school is at 4(need one more) all at 8 to 10".
 
pimelodius pictus cats are schooling fish (also not monsters but very cool nonetheless)...
i have found that mine are seperated now as they have matured, but for the first year were a very active school of 4 ;)
