Those are super cool! The dorsal and pectoral spines are just like my little cats, that anal fin is completely different though. How are these sexed?

I haven’t looked into sexing them as of yet as I have not made any active attempts at breeding them so I don’t see a reason to sex them. I will however look into it now if I can find some information about it.
Also don’t be shy, feel free to post some pictures of yours, any driftwood catfish similar in body shape to these are welcome here! Well, more pictures that is.

I am putting these photos side by side in order to show growth in 3 months. The first two are old pictures and the last two are new pictures.

They do look a bit fatter, would be cool to try and breed them. Mine have spawned once that I have seen, long term goal is for the setup to allow fry to survive and grow now and again once the fish adjust

That sounds fantastic, make sure to @ me if you make a thread showing off them breeding as I would be interested in that.
