Hi,
Im new here, seems like you guys have got a great lot of info that can help me care for George - my Pterygoplichthys pardalis! Well I know this is what he is now... thanks.

I got my first tank for my 15th birthday and George has out lived & outgrown 2 tanks and many other fish since!!. Rookie mistake, he was initially bought, as possibly many are, as a cleaner upper!.

Anyway hes now roughly 9 years old & I think stopped growing!! (hopefully).
Hopefully Ill get some pics up soon so you can see how gorgeous he really is.

Be great to compare stories as many of my mates gasp with shock when he decides to grace us with his presence!!! Mainly coz of his size and the fact they never have seen anything like him before.

Ready to learn new things - so lay the facts on.

Hey, welcome! I have a pardalis also, his name is Rex! Very impressive aren't they? 'Specially when they hold up their top fin and swish their tail!

Yeah George does look very impressive when he does that. How old is Rex?

I got him last summer, maybe august? he was so small, about 2 inches maybe, here are some pics of him.

George is about 9 years old. Ill put some pics up soon, bless Rex is the spit of George. He was about 2inches too.... not any more though. Gonna have to measure him now!! (curious).

yes, I can't wait to see pics of him! Welcome again. I am a newbie to catfish, only almost two years for me. I love synos and pl*cos and cories.

Most fish don't ever stop growing (until they pass away), but they generally slow down after some period of time.
