Whoa, Cool! Makes you wonder if someone has ever based a sci-fi creature on a catfish. Forget alien, catfish would be a much better muse.

That's brilliant! I tried to do that with some of the catfish pics in the Cat-eLog but couldn't generate enough interest. Too bad, there's some very funny fish pics on this site :lol:

Hey guys, we have some giant cat pics where's the tiny cat whisker pics? All we have for the little end is the fabulous cory. Need more mini-whisks!

Oh dear, Birger caught me with my favoritism showing! :oops:
Yes, you are right. I'm not quite up to speed with quick ID am I? Four months into catfish and I should be a little more observant! :lol:
