Hemibagrus?

[fastbuck]

What species do I have here? My thought is Hemibagrus Macropterus, lfs thought is was a Pim.

Thanks,

Some sort of

Pimelodella

, I think; unsure of exact species.

[Silurus]

It's a

Rhamdia

, which is notoriously difficult to identify to species.

Great, thanks. Rhamdia look like they should be compatible with SA Cichlids, which is what they will be housed with after quarantine. Super cool cats so far that swim around like sharks. Was worried if they were Hemibagrus they could be super aggressive.

That's a good combination, I have had it myself.

They did get large, the biggest one was 40 cm, or 16 inches

The most common in the trade is Rhamdia quelen. Hi IQ fish in our experience https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/vie ... lit=quelen

Bagridae have nasal barbels. Pims do not.

Thanks Bas and Viktor for the additional information. Should be a fun fish to keep. Entertaining reading the stories about how hard they are to catch. The employee at the fish shop definitely had that issue.

How is the weasel doing?
