went to the LFS and saw these 2 intersting fishes. I really likie the catfish looks SB but not sure is it worth the $25.00 they were askign for it. They said the other one is a fresh water barracuda.

hoplo catfish and idk what the 2nd one is.

The hoplo won't get big, i think max size is like 3". My friend has my old one in his 300g and it hasn't grown any bigger than 3" for the past year or two.

and def not worth $25. My store had em for like $6.
 
hopolo cat.... i think ive seen a fellow member post pics of a 10" or something florida hopolo ....

and yellowtail barracuda
 
1st one a hopolo cat. $25 not worth it they average from $6 to $12 around this way ,they are really nice fish and clean the tank nicely not just another lazy cat.
 
the barracuda looks like a African pike seen these around too they always seem to mis label them
 
The first one is a hoplo...get fish i have one around 6-7inches.....
funny as my local fish shop is selling two same size as mine for 40pounds each
heres mine
