I've one that we helped identify Snookyn's hybrid against a couple years ago. mine's an achara x tsn we got 2 or 3 years ago. I have to check, but pretty sure 2 years ago. gorgeous fish, absolutely stunning. Can be handfed and tamed. Not aggressive towards others and with mine, the giraffe catfish is his "buddy"; cannot be separated. Check out his threads and mine, and you'll see what I mean. nice find btw. I'm still waiting for mine to grow big enough to be put into the 265g. His growth has been slow, not like the achara, no live feeders....but content where he's been (125g). I know he's gonna catch an irridescent shark soon for a snack
@thebiggerthebetter...do you have 2 of these catfish? You're pics show one of ~15" and another of 2 feet...if so, do they get along? and, how long did it take to get to this size? I got mine at a 4-6" baby and still a baby years later

***I had 4 at some point.

***I've never had them together in small tanks. The two I have had in my 40'x6'x3' pond didn't pay any more attention to each other than to other fish. I have the 15" one in a 120 gal temporary. He is aggressive to other fish - had to install a divider (there are caveats - http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34777&hilit=+zungaro ) I did hear from others they can be aggressive. Good to see yours is not. But again, I suspect yours is a slightly different hybrid - http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...3-wanted-to-update-my-quot-beauty-quot-hybrid

***What's your growth rate in rough numbers? I am never after a growth rate. Mine grew ok, not slowly, perhaps from 8" to 16" in a year, thinking back.
