Out on a family trip for a relative's birthday in Chicago. Yesterday was a trip to the Shedd Aquarium. They have a nice series of displays in their Amazon exhibit. Didn’t get pics of all the catfishes I saw, but got a few.
There was also a nice tank with a school of . I expected P. pictus, but I wasn't sure; the fish looked old and I don't know how their patterns change or vary with age.
Our little 2 year old got tired so we didn't make it to the Asian Waters section, but I'm sure it was good too.
Cheers, Eric

Re: Visited Shedd Aquarium yesterday
Great to see, thank you Eric so much!
Our P. pictus haven't changed so much with age so far (~7yo). IIRC Shedd has a very large group of them with perhaps other Pimelodus mixed in.

Re: Visited Shedd Aquarium yesterday
Sadly, I didn't get a picture or video of the Pimelodus. There were a lot. Maybe 15-25? I don't recall but the group was very active. Really reinforced to me that these are a schooling (or at least shoaling) fish.Viktor Jarikov wrote: 19 Mar 2023, 00:50 Great to see, thank you Eric so much!
