Genuine - although keeping them in such a pale environment doesn't do them justice!

I am unhappy with the word "strain" in the description as this implies a variety of a species & they have been bred in captivity as certain members of Planet catfish have captive born individuals.

Nevertheless a superb catfish, just on the wrong side of the pond for me :(
