Post by chrissy »

Hi, everyone,
Can anyone identify my Catfish. He/she is lovely, a brown and beige coulour, got quite a big flatish mouth.
Here is his pic.

Yes - I would agree with that identification! Just make sure that any fish being kept with it do not eventually appear on its menu! :)

Thank you for the replies. It would appear to be the same as that.
I love this catfish he is so full of character. He also is a very greedy thing.
