I love leporinus! Fasciatus will always be my favorite, but this is certainly one of the nicest looking! And much more tame…

Those Copeina are super cool!
I have had Copeina arnoldi years back. Beautiful fish; need to keep aquaria very tighly closed as the jump. In fact, in aquaria, this is their most frequent means of demise (=death).

Slobbering Catfish
Brachyplatystoma platynemum
Size: 3’
pH: 6.5-7.0
Tank size: 300G/Individual
Country of origin: Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Predatory, though relatively peaceful
Temperature: 75-80° F
Description
Brachyplatystoma platynemum is among the rarer giant catfish in the trade. These fish are not particularly active, though still require a rather large aquarium due to their immense size. Though not as giant as some of the other monsters featured on this thread, their size is still nothing short of impressive.
