Whats up with my Striped Rapahel Catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I only have the one rapahel but I have a silver tip, a pangasius, a pictus, an eclipse, 4 cory,4 clown loaches, 2 zebra loaches, 2 angelicus loaches, 6 cichlids. He hides on the back side of a fake log facing down 90 percent of the time. Only the eclipse hides out more.

He seems fine when hes out and about but he just goes crazy around the wavemaker. I got him at about an inch and after I dropped him in I never saw him for probably 3 months. He is much more visible in the bigger tank for the past month. But ive seen him going loopy 3 times now.

I have 2 striped raphaels. At first they were really shy and hid all day, and I'd be lucky to catch a glimpse of either one of their tails, part of their body, or something of them in the 2 logs that they were hiding. Ever since I introduced a Mystus Wolffi and Mystus mysticetus into the tank, theyve been less shy and more willing to compete for food. The mystus Wolffii doesnt bully any catfish at all, but he seems to really dislike the cichlids.

Currently trying to convince my girlfriend to let me get a 500 gallon plastic water tub for cheap cuz I wanna grow monsters again after the whole 2011 Thailand flood debacle that I lost ALL of my fish and my cement pond got so dirty and everything messed up that I had to put the monster hobby on hold and move to smaller sized fish. My Goonch was starting to get pretty big too...... Guess theres some feral RTCs and RTCxTSN hybrids in Bangkok waterways now
