Great, thanks. Rhamdia look like they should be compatible with SA Cichlids, which is what they will be housed with after quarantine. Super cool cats so far that swim around like sharks. Was worried if they were Hemibagrus they could be super aggressive.

Thanks Bas and Viktor for the additional information. Should be a fun fish to keep. Entertaining reading the stories about how hard they are to catch. The employee at the fish shop definitely had that issue.
