That's not a catfish that's a cyprinid. How dare you insult us......

GET OUT of this forum!!


Only joking! That's an albino Red-Tailed Shark or Epalzeorhynchos bicolor.

It's in the carp family, and originates from Thailand, although yours was probably captive bred in Singapore.

I can see that it's ugly, but I fail to see the Monsterfish quality of this one :wink:

I had the coloured variety of those, and he didnt like anyone getting in his cave, apart from the 2 clown loaches, who he ACTUALLY BROUGHT UP! im going to have to get rid of them because they are too big, and to agressive!
