Welcome, jrodrigues and YSC.

jrodrigues: That would be south of Corpus Christi, then? I drove from Austin due south to Port Lavaca (or something like that) and then turned west towards Corpus Christi, but I started going back towards Austin before I got into CC properly. Quite nice around there, from a touristic standpoint (but not touristy by any means).

Hey! That site is so cool! Everyone - go here and pop yourself onto the map. http://www.frappr.com/planetcatfish
What's so weird is that everyone actually looks something like I thought they would. I can also confidently say that the people on planet Catfish are a bunch of very good looking people.

Now if I can only find a hot-looking picture of myself from twenty years ago..... :lol: :lol: Oh yeah, no digital then.. :shock:

We're still missing Iceland? Africa and India are kind of low numbers too. Russia's not very well represented either. Do we have anyone from Korea?
No Newfoundlanders from Canada?? Can't be a proper party without them.

Hello, I am Ady from Malaysia. I was quite surprised there are so many types of catfish....We farm catfish here to make money, sell to fish market and distributors. Not for fun. Anyone farming catfish for living? my email is agrofx@gmail.com .

Welcome along Stevie, sorry the CotM is late this month, just use the "upload attachment" tab when you're writing a post to upload an image with it. If you're looking to ID a cat, use the "what is my catfish" forum.

Cheers,

Jools

The aquarium shop where i buy my fish has a good range of plecs and catfish depending on the season.
Some of them are pretty expensive, im just curious of how expensive they are in other parts of this fine fishy world. :D

Hey there you last few posters - welcome to Planet Catfish - elle1313 when you wanna know about catfish prices? Any particular species so we can compare them?

Here is an example for you from the UK. I can go somewhere fairly local & buy a 1" L128 for £80 or i can travel a coupla hours & get an adult one for £30 !!! i wonder how much these are in Oz???

We had it a few years back, but it wasn't really used much.
