What breed & sex is my catfish

Post by ajenever »

We bought some drift wood and when we got home we found this little one in the bag, we can't seem to work out what bread it is or what sex. Can anyone help? See images

I believe it is
Peckoltia brevis
(aka L205). Sexing isn't very easy, but judging by the shape of the head, I'd guess a female.

Am I correct in assuming you bought the driftwood and found this fish hidden, ie clinging on to the wood? Does the shop you bought the wood from realise you appear to have got a free fish as well? :d
