Anyone have a video of them? I wanna see what they look like and how they swim etc. I was thinking about getting a group of 3-4 of them.
Who owns Porthole Catfish?

Don't have a video but there not the most active swimmers but they do move though pretty cool looking catfish
got my 18cm 1 had him 4 years love im 2 bits thinks he a clown loach lol lives with all my grow outs
Thats pretty cool. I know what they look like but havent seen them in person. So I wanted to know their activity level. Just wanna make sure they arent a lazy catfish that lays down or hides 99%, and also not too hyper like a pictus cat.
So you guys say they are moderate, kinda in between?

Isnt this like 7 inches? I didnt know they got that big, I thought only like 4 inches.
7 inches!!!! Thats huge! Are you sure you didn't mean 18millimeters? I have one that is about 2 inches. I think he is very active for a catfish. He likes to lay in strange visible places sideway, upside-down, right-side up and any position he can. It reminds me of my tiger and shovelnose lima. He loves bloodworms too. One of the only catfishes (other than my shovelnose lima) that ever skim the surface. Got mine for $7.99. Mine does not hide, it is visible 100% of the time.
