Pimelodus tetramerus

Post by zipper »

My LFS just got some of these in. I've always been a fan of smaller pimelodids, but they are seldomly imported here. So when these showed up I got pretty excited. Checking the Cat-e-log though, there really isn't anything on them. Anyone have experience with these fish?
