Pimelodus ornatus

I just took a walk to my LFS and they have a 5" ornatus for $29.99. Is that a good price?

They also have a catfish they just labeled as "Marble Cat" for 22.99 that has long streamers and a "leopard" like pattern on its back. Any idea on what it is? I might bring my camera with me next time I go to take a quick pic.

I had an Asian Bumblebee Catfish once. It was pretty sweet. It only gre to 7" and it died when there was a power outage. :(

wow!! 32 inches!! It definitely looks like it. This guy is only 4 inches long or so....I guess he has a lot of growing up left in him!!

Is the $30 price tag on a 5" ornatus too high? or is it a fair price?

Not sure on price as im in uk and big differences in price's.

4" little guy will easily be 18" within a year. :)
 
so it's looking like I have to choose between a Bagarius bagarius or a Pimelodella ornatus!!! I don't know where I'll get the Bagarius bagarius from (Wes doesn't have any in stock right now...) but I'm a patient guy :)

hey Benz - was the bumblebee cat active?
 
B bagarius arn't very active at all, just thought id let you know. if your after active then go with P ornatus.
