Hi to everyone,
This is my first post on this great site. Though it's a bit late, here goes. We are great catfish lovers and we have kept quite a few different species over the years, such as julii cats, peppered catfish, bristle-nose (which we breed), a magnificent golden pleco (who recently passed away) and and a gorgeous gibbiceps (who also unfortunately passed away while we were on a long overdue holiday).

We currently have eel-tailed catfish (tandanus) and our breeding bristle-nose. We are preparing a 4-ft tank as a special catfish tank and are still deciding what fish will eventually go in. I would love to find out how many other people are keeping Australian catfish as it would be great to source some of these. We'd love to have some suggestions. The eel-tails are great fun - very active and they feed from my hand!

Congratulations on a great site. It is a brilliant resource and makes for excellent reading.

Regards,
Raichu

Welcome along, speaking for the catfish folks in the UK, we've only seen catfishes from down under once in the past decade or so here for sale, so it's great to be able to interact with people who are keeping them.

Cheers,

Thanks for the replies - !

This has inspired me to do some further research into Australian catfish. I would welcome any suggestions for the tank and also if anyone in Australia knows of any specialist breeders for Aussie catfish, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks again,
Raichu
