Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.

4- S. greshoffi

I can see how this process takes quite a lot of time when it's difficult species like this...
