I'm trying to ...

My first catfish was a C.aeneus yes a single fish, but it was many years ago long before catfish study groups and the internet and i did not know better. what got me into Catfish was a raffle at one of the big London Tropical fish exhibitions where I won a synodontis and joined the Catfish ...

Anyone got a Hydrophone?

Ian
