hi,

i ordered a megamouth catfish over the net but the fish is not suitable to be sent out. he has offered a another fish in its place but i cant find any info on it.

has anyone heard of a Pseudopimladella zungaro burtoni??
is it known by another name?

any info much appreciated

e-mail from supplier below

"Hi John

Thanks for your order of the Trachycorystes trachycorystes, I have just looked at the fish and I don’t think it is suitable to send out – he jumped tank and ended up with a citrenilum who didn’t like him. I can refund the monies back to your account or if you are interested I have a Pseudopimladella zungaro burtoni for sale (similar shape but brown and white banding) he is up for £60 but I will let him go for the same price as you have paid for the Trachycorystes trachycorystes as he is now desperate for a home, he is fin perfect and showing lovely colour and is about 6” but he will eat anything that is under 4”.Please let me know if you are interested or I can refund you Thanks "
 
he's spelt it incorrectly. it's a Pseudopimelodus zungaro bufonius. about 11" max. giant bumblebee catfish also known as the zungaro wels. good cat and real hungry. try google for pics and more info.
 
Here is a link ....http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=955. We've had several of them in the store for about a year and they are VORACIOUS eaters! Willing and capable of eating other fish the same length and girth as themselves! I caught them attempting to cannabalize several times, despite heavy feedings, and finally just seperated them. They aren't aggressive towards anything too big to be eaten, and only seem to be territorial towards each other.
 
man i can't find them any where i almost got one orderd but they didn't have it anymore and know i don't have the tank space at least till my new tank comes but still it would be cool to know where t find some
