I do not think I am that old but when I was 13 and had my first couple of tanks I wouldn't have dreamed there would be something like this forum so I hope it helps you with your interest in fish.

and one unknown catfish

If you can take a digital picture of this catfish we can help you figure out what you have?

Cheers,Birger

Awesome! Do you know where I can get a Corydoras britskii near Virginia?

Welcome to Planet Catfish, Kets.

Could I ask you to do something: Fill in your "location" in the User Control Panel. That will help people help you, when it comes to asking about what fish is available where you live.

Hi, Kets. I assume you mean Brochis britskii, a Corydoras relative. I got mine from the Pet Club on Parham Road in Richmond, about 2 years ago. The fish were ID'd by Ian Fuller on corydorasworld so I am confident of the species. Ian says that B. britskii stowaways are not unheard of, coming in sometimes with shipments of B. splendens, because they are found together at the natural collection site.
Do not expect the folks at the Pet Club to know the correct species names for anything.
They still think Brochis are large corys, and do not see the physical differences between the two. I just had a very unpleasant buying experience with them over a Deykeseria brachyura and I can not say enough bad about that place. On the plus side, they are convenient if you are near Richmond, and they have a pretty good selection of ordinary beginner aquarium fish. I stop in occasionally just to see the tanks, because once in a while they get in something really unusual.
Good luck with your fish. When I was 13 my brother and I had a tank of mollies and our water came from an artesian well. I still remember it.
