Your favorite cat(s)

for me it has to be oxydoras niger, the mother of snails catfish. Able to grow to massive sizes, this doradid surely is immense. Ive never had one, or a tank big enough, so sorry but i dont have pics, but long term ambitions involve setting up a tank especially for at least one. Its unusual for such a large cat to be on the peaceful side, meaning tankmate selection can be varied. With massive spikes down the sides to impress guests too, seems my ideal species! Glad to see a thread about catfish love, keep it up!

my favorite cat is the irridescent shark, mine are very shark-like most of the time, i just hope they stay that way when they get older. i've never had a RTC though so i might end up changing my preference but for now the IR shark is at the top of my list.

Yes their also cool too I the moment I have one but he just sits in a fake plant and plays dead all day he's not really dieing he's just weird:screwy:.
