I'm far from an expert on Catfish of any kind but I've had three of these little guys in my 75gal South American community tank for going on two years now. They rarely come out and then it's only far enough to snap up whatever caught their interest. They'll eat flakes, bloodworms, pellets-both ...

That's good news! They don't out grow aquariums at least. So according to the info, they're temperate fish. Does that mean I could put him in my Goldfish pond this spring and leave him in there permanantly? Our winters get fairly cold. In the mid teens or lower during the night sometimes and even ...

My LFS got these in last week labeled as Dragon Catfish. He's about four inches long.

I think he's an Asian catfish of some kind. This is the closest match I could find while searching on the net. The site I found this pic on has it labeles as ...

Here's the best pics I could get. He's not the most cooperative fish in the world.

I got this guy a couple of weeks ago from a friend of mine. It doesnt' quite look like the other common Plecos I've had and seen in the past. It's covered with small black spots (Instead of the bigger marbled spotting) even on the dorsal fin. No stripes on the dorsal and no barring on the sides like ...

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! That's him alright. When he was smaller, he was VERY pink. My kids called him the Naked Racoon Cat because of his black mask and pink color.

Since I put him in this tank with the bottom painted black, or maybe because he's older now, he's gotten darker. I really like ...

Can anybody give me a scientific name for this guy or even just some info on him? I bought him as a One Lined Pim Cat. He was about an inch long when I got him and he's grown about a half an inch a month or so. Now he's about four inches and seems to have stopped growing. He's pretty active and ...

I have an outdoor pond, but he can't go in there since the winters here in Northeast Pennsylvania get kinda chilly. I'm eventually building anothe rpond in my basement in the hopes of being able to keep another RedTail Cat and some Pacu and grow them to full size. That's a couple of years in the ...

That sounds about right for what he's doing so far. I got a Lined Pim Cat the same day. They were both the same size when I bought them and now the Pim Cat is double his size.

It's good they don't grow very fast. I'll actually be able to keep this guy for a while before he outgrows my tank and has ...

Kewl! So he's really rare and unusual. I can't imagine where the LFS even got him from. There was a whole tankful of them when I got him a few months ago. He hasn't grown very much yet for a huge growing cat. Nothing like a SA RedTail anyway.

Do they grow fast? And is he really going to grow to ...

He does look like that Rita rita cat, but he's got a rounded dorsal fin instead. But that might be close.

Now that he's settled into his new tank, I got a couple of slightly better pics of him.

Good pic of his tail. It's slightly forked but with short rounded lobes.

I've spent hours looking through your site here till my eyes were going buggy. And I can not identify this darn fish :(

It is about three inches long and was sold to me as a Whale Cat. But the only Whale Cats I've ever heard of are those ugly pinkish white sea monster looking things. This looks ...
