This isn't my fish. I just wanted a positive ID on him.




Is it an electric catfish?

I got the pictures from http://www.cichlidscene.com .

They do have some catfishes on the site. You have to click on the SHOW tab. It has pictures a few aquarium conventions. Really nice site.

Yes, it's an electric catfish and given recent advances in the taxonomy of this genus, it's no longer safe to assume that it's <i>M. electricus</i> (since there are about 20 species of these things in two genera now).
