The White-Whiskered Catfish Thread!

Damn! I finally got him after waiting for like 3 weeks. The Bagrithcys Majasculus is very pretty and around 3 inches in size right now. Here are some pictures, I will take better ones when we get home.


In this thread I will be detailing all his adventures, habits and goofy life. He is very active right now!

No registered keepers on planetcatfish. Safe to say it is rare.

Nice to see rare species on MFK, looking forward to this thread.

Here are some better pictures. I am slightly worried about some spots around his pectoral fins but he seems very happy and active so far.


Any idea what they could be? He is in a quarantine tank with some red cherry shrimp and I have melafix in case I need to add it.

Excellent!

Just keep an eye on the spots, could be many things. They may go away or be part of colouration

Would love to see clearer pictures of that cool cat! (outside the bag), settled in the tank.
Congrats!

Sure I will try my best.

Right now he is hiding underneath my sponge filter. He stopped moving and I was scared so I tried to touch him but he quickly scurried away. Bit worried.Now, whenever I tap on the glass he moves just a bit. I have heard these guys are nocturnal and come out in the presence of dithers so I have to see how it goes. The tank parameters are completely fine and I don't think there are any signs of disease. I haven't started trying to feed him yet, I want to wait until he is a bit more settled.
