Catfish bought for 15 cents in feeder fish tank.

Post by geekshow »

Bought this catfish in the local pet shop in town for 15 cents because it came in with the feeder fish and they didnt know what it was. Ive searched the internet and come up with hardly anything. I believe it might be some sort of bullhead maybe an african bullhead. If any one can help that would be great. Sorry the pictures are not that great i need a new cammera.

count yourself very lucky; Madtoms are extremely rare in the trade and nonexisting out of the US in the hobby.

it'll be a very nice and interesting fish to keep and it sure won't outgrow the tank.
