Hmmm... I count more than 10 rays on that baby's dorsal fin. Looks more like a Marbled Pim (Achara Catfish) to me.

My Pim grew over the last year at a rate of about 1/3" per week.

It's so NOT a perruno. Perruno's only have 7 soft dorsal rays, and a totally different shape to the dorsal because of it. It's a Liearus marmoratus.

Yeah, not a P. perruno dude. I have NEVER seen a perruno in an aquarium in all my years of contacting people and looking at images of marbled catfish and their look alikes.

my achara's growth rate was amazing. Goes thru some strange cycle growth spells. had him for 2 yrs, and is now 28"....I also have an achara x tsn hybrid. that thing definitely takes after the achara as for growth.

If I think about it, my achara went from around 8" when I brought him home to 22" in about a year. After he hit 18", the growth rate slowed down, and started thickening/fattening out
