Hi ,
your catfish looks to be chrysichthys ornatus
it will get to approx 8" and is predatory. i have seen these in my lfs recently and was considering one.
they appear quite docile in character. i would consult planet catfish for more detailed advice.

This info is correct Steve.ng80;4745909; said:
Iv'e kept them many years ago and found them very agreeable with other fish,that said once they do reach adult sizes 8-10 inches long the mouth becomes huge in proportion to the body so choose tank mates accordingly.
Good luck.
Richard.
Ps nice example by the way.
Cheers richard,they had two,dont know if i should go and get the other lol
Im growing him up with the discus for now and then he will go in with the dats and bichirs when hes big enough,do they grow quickly?
