Beautiful Fish Iridescent Catfish.... Lovely scales.
Maybe you stunned him.
He was probably pining for the fjords!
You know, the Iridescent Catfish prefers kippin' on it's back
Good advice!!!Do you live near Dade City?????Kogo;2035879; said:ID's will often "spaz out" in the bag. years ago while working in a LFS I bagged up 3 different ID's trying to find one that wasn't dieing. I finally found one and sent it home. 10 minutes later the first two were swimming around like nothing happened.
Also the local price for small (3") ID's is $7 right now. $5 is a good price for a 5".
also using a fine mesh nets prevents catfish from getting their barbed fins tangled.
I will say though, chasing fish around the tank till they are exhausted is really hard on them... if the salesmen cant get it in three tries, i usually choose another fish or come back latter.
