Its been years I have wanted a tiger shovel nose and I never got around to it or did not have a tank big enough. Well with my 300+ coming I figured I will be fine grabbing a little 5" TSN he rocks! he hammered some ghost shrimp hard with my other new catfish that was named "gulper" by the store but I don't think he is. He does have a huge mouth and appetite though. Anyways ill get pics when he comes out of the cave just thought id share my excitement
One of my first bona fide monster fish to be

I anticipated that he already tagged an African. They are getting moved out today so its just him and my ompok catfish.

Cant wait until he gets his stripes!
