Banjo cat question - Amaralia hypsiura ?

Hi guys,

Saw a 4 incher banjo cat black color with a few white vertical stripes labeled as "Amaralia hypsiura"

it looks like this pic but not any other pic in the cat-elog planetcat under the same species, any particular reason why the first few looks so diff. ?

http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/as ... /331_F.PHP

When I try to touch it, it just curves its tail.
When I try to check its belly condition , I can easily flip it over with a net and he will slowly try to turn back.

With the above, is there signs of problem or just normal for a banjo cat (I know that they are slow) ?

By the way, are they hard to care ? What water condition will they need & diet ?

Thanks

ben

oops,

age must have caught up with me :oops:

btw, does the fish respond seem "normal" ?

Yes, that is the standard banjo catfish response.
