I had a thread on here earlier about a Albino catfish,some thought it was a ARTC,others thought it might be a channel cat while still others believe it to be an Albino Pictus well what ever it is ,it is a total pain in the butt to my big cats.He is always bugging them,rides under neath them or always swims around thier fins,when they are resting he annoys them and even nips thier fins if you guys can figure out what he is i would appreciate it,i mean if it is only a pictus i will bing him back.:irked::confused:

I'd just give him away
 
With that kind of personality, I would put a large sum of money on an Albino ARTC. Most people have to keep them solitary cause they harass everything, and are pretty aggressive.
I have three channel cats, that have been in with all sorts of fish, and they rarely harass other fish.
My pim blochii will harass other fish, but the conformation is wrong for this guy, and if it's over 5", it's not a pictus.

It's an Albino ARTC, it won't play nice from everything I've read about them.

See the photo here, looks just like yours. Also if you search Google Images for Albino Asian Red Tail Catfish a couple others pop up that look just like yours.
Thanks for clearing that up,it explains why he is such a pain,he is a slow grower though.:drool:
