Just wondering about these beastly fish i stumbled upon. Might get one...eventually.
Pictures of your lima shovelnose catfish are always welcome and appreciated!

IMO i think limas are a cooler shovelnose than a tiger if you have a smaller tank. (still talking a least 150+gal for a full grown lima) but they don't get anywhere near as gigantic as the tiger

One thing i find cool about limas is, when they shed their slime coat it sort of looks like smoke coming off of them.
