The good thing about being close to the source of Asian catfishes in the trade is how low the prices can be. These just cost SGD1 (USD0.64, 34 pence) at an LFS.

I set up a small South Asian tank in my office, where I put in Puntius gelius, Garra flavatra and Akysis longifilis. This is about all I ever see of the Akysis.

Hi Chef

If these are from the same source as the ones I got via Ian, they are indeed A longifilis
