Never been a big Catfish fan, but this guy looks really nice. Clean straight bars and gives a good color contrast in my tank...

Rulaifu:
He's around 10-11inch.

DragonGuy:
I have yet to see an LFS that carried one of these in my area, not pretty popular among "casual" hobbyists.

I liked this one because of the straight bars, hope he keeps them straight when he grows.

when they are small its best to keep away from salty foods like prawn as they dont seam to be able to digest it properly

i would put 100 x small platys in the tank

or try to get it feeding on hikari sinking carnivor pellets

they grow very fast up to 10inch maybe 2 inch per month

Eken may tell you to check kijiji if you really want it. Otherwise, I can sell one to you, but they are very small at about 3~4 inches. LOL.

Thanks
I wish I could take up the offer but my house is priority at the moment and taking all my precious hobby money.

There is a LFS that just got a small group in. About 3". $350 I believe the price tag was.

I love the stripes. Hopefully I can add one beore they become unavailable down the road.

I'm also in Winnipeg Manitoba

If it was shipped to me the end cost would be roughly the same

Prices here seem to be alot more than everywhere else in Canada

Thanks though

Actually it is Tigrinus season right now, and you can find them fairly easy and at a good price too right now. You just have to know where to look for...

Hey, Homebrewed. I think that Ewing might have a few small ones (about 2-3"). I was thinking about springing for one myself, but my hot water tank just sprang a leak. Oh well, you can't have them all.
