Show your Four lined pims!-)

Four lined pims, the Underated little active pimelodus blochii.
Who is keeping these or kept them, what is their max size? Planet catfish lists them at 9. 8 inch sl so I figure that's a good 12 inch with the tail?
Mine is about 8 inch with the tail, tiles in the first pic are 12inch, he is always out and about begging for food, easily as cool as my old ornate pim.
Please share...

I do. I have 2. One's @ 8" and other is close to 9". Mine don't come out. They stay in their own caves till night time. Old photo from Aug 2015. I'll try to get a more recent one if they stay still

They are quite pretty looking fish.

I lost one recently, was probably about 7", my curu gave him a good bite when I transferred him from the grow out, he didn't pull through. I had one at 11-12" TL so I'd say pcf is right.

Mine (Morris) is 16 years old and over a foot, never leaves his cave but will way a mean whisker at you. I have a seven incher (Felix) that I will try to get a shot of. He only comes out for dinner

I don't have these fish anymore, sadly my first one was 9in. when I got rid of him and the little one was just under 6in.

trying to take over Smudge's log (never successful)
