Hi, can anyone tell me anything about this catfish? I’m thinking about buying it
Thanks!

Hi Joshuakahan,

I'm not sure what that one line pim is... It looks more like a species of than .

Side note: I visited the vendor's website and I see they list L015 for $29 each, but the photo appears to be a mature male (although, if they're really only 2"+ as the website indicates, I doubt they'd look so sexually mature as this photo). If you have any interest in plecos and this in particular, I would check with the seller to confirm the photo is of the actual fish and I'd get them... but that's just me.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks, I called the vendor he said he thinks the one line pim is probably a different species, so you may be right.
I’m not into plecos though, but thanks!

Looks a lot like the Rhamdia I once had. Those grew to 40 cm - that's 16 inches. But Rhamdia species look a lot like each other, and not all Rhamdia grow to that size

Definetely a Rhamdia species. You might call it cf. quelen and nobody can proof you wrong, but if you happen to find out the catching location there is a chance to identify the fish more properly on on species level.

I did not enjoy keeping them to be honest, wouldn't recommend the genus.

We had a quelen before. Quirky smart fast weasel.
