Hi Kostas

I don't think the fish in your picture will look just like the one on planetcatfish. The lines on your fish are straight and not as squiggly. He will however be a beauty and will grow very big. My oldest one is at 10" right now, he is messy messy messy too! I do have two in a tank together (125 gallon tank) and they do not fight, but I hear that they do fight if there is not enough room to grow, eat, hide etc.

Hi!

Well it will sure look similar... in both colour pattern and size...
These grow big , depending of the geographical population.
Panaque nigrolineatus is a rather complex group, which sure need a good scientific work to clear all this out!
Cheers
Yann
