Thanks for the pics man. I always thought that Parauchenoglanis guttatus was the Dwarf Giraffe Catfish.

How long do each of them grow to?

Thanks

im, not sure , they say the guttus get 12 in and the dwarf get 8, and i also have heard that the both get 8inchs, so i don't know, listen how many do you want cause if it's the giraffe you want you can have two of mine.

If I do end up getting one, I'm just going to pick up one. I like the look of the guttatus better :)

And George lists the Dwarf Giraffe Cat as the Parauchenoglanis guttatus ! :nilly: I don't know what to believe!
 
i got some off him i think 12, and i got 4 guttus out of the group, now dave'sfish.com, uncle neds fish, and rehoboth all know the difference, and sell them seperate, george is more in to the american cats he told , me and where he gets the fish at they had thttp://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=2hem together, but if you take the trip , you can pic the right one out with a little time.check out

Yea, you're pics are going to help me out a lot! I'm getting a nice sized order from Toyin (Rehoboth) in a couple of weeks so I may just get the P. guttatus from him! Maybe he has a definite answer on how long Parauchenoglanis guttatus and macrostoma get.

hmm, www.davesfish.com also labels Parauchenoglanis guttatus as Marbled Dwarf Giraffe Catfish. I guess I'll see what Toyin says and if I take a trip to SA, I'll take the pics with me :)
