I've always loved these cats, but never wanted to get one that was 6". Well my LFS got one in and had no idea what it was(mixed in with a batch of fish) so they put him in the "unknown" tank. I told them what it was and they didn't believe me, so I said if I prove them wrong can I get it for $5. They agreed(they were asking $30), so a quick google search and I earned myself a $5 mini electric catfish!:D I'll try to get pics when he comes out:)

Lol nice. Just remember rubber soles when working on the tank. ;)

Haha thanks. Only felt a little tingle when I first netted him for the tank. Other then that he is very curious and swims around my hands no problem. Kind of the main reason I wanted a tiny one from the start, less shock and easier to handle haha.

Well not the greatest pics but I managed to grab a couple. I also snapped a pic of his temporary home(the breeder box) till he grows a little bit. I do have a larger breeder box for him after a while. Just don't want to risk him being messed with at this size.
