He's about 15cm now and growing. He's been pretty hardy for me :-BD He's survived low tank maintenance, an ich outbreak, as well as fighting/playing with Clown Loaches (they have retractable spines under their eyes so sometimes he was pretty scratched up!)
Kitty is easily my favourite fish in the ...

Thanks for the confirmation
At least I know now that Kitty won't get too big

:-BD I got him! Using my FABULOUS photography skills and...borrowing my mum's camera :-

I also notice the catfish is hiding directly under the heater. If he does this a lot, then to avoid heater burns I would consider either getting a heater guard, or moving the heater and providing an alternative ...

I just assumed that he was from Australia, do eeltailed catfish live anywhere else but australasia? I have no idea if he was captive bred or wild caught. I purchased him at a pet store and I can't remember the label, it was probably just 'catfish' or something, and I can't remember the cost either ...

Thanks for you help I can't see much difference between them lol
But Kitty does kind of look like a Porochilus rendahli, at least I hope so, because they only get to 20cm

Here is an extremely bad photo of my eeltailed catfish. I cannot find much information about Australian catfish, but from the few pictures that I have seen, maybe Kitty is a neosilurus ater? I just attached the photo so that you can kinda see his colour, his 'mottled' appearance.
Would anyone mind ...
