a lot of times, they are called perruno when they're not. I asked before about them (from shark aquarium) and everyone said they would be longibarbus
He was £15 at 14" as hes my boss and is hapy for him to go to a good home.pwmin;1475109; said:damn,how much did you have to pay for that bad boy, if you don't mind asking?
i'm actually thinking about going and picking one up if i find someone local who will take it if i can't get an appropriately-sized tank in time. whatdya think?
I saw the TSN again that the FoCo LFS had and was really tempted cuz it looked so underfed and skinny (they had 3 last time i was in, now theyre down to 1). I wonder who is buying those. they also have about sold out of the silver aros. someone bought a 16" black pacu they've had forever when I was in today. i don't think they know what they're getting into. i know they don't w/ the pacu because the guy said they feed it a small handful of PELLETS once a day. I'm thinking I shouldve stepped in and told they they can get HUGE and that they need veggies, too. If it was a black rhom, i would've gotten it a while ago
You get all the good deals, Bruce.Bogwoodbruce;1476262; said:

Many times catfish are mislabeled. It's all about marketing. From what I understand longibarbis are called perrunos for dealers as that's what they have always came in as. This was started before there was a true distinction of which species had what characteristics. No one bothers to do a dorsal fin ray count. You could easily get a mixed batch and not know it. You really have to take a still picture of the dorsal fin to get an accurate count. Again I have yet to see any definitive pictures of a true perruno.
