| 7 | oanes (k: 3) since 2010-07-01 to 2012-07-08, that's 2 years, 0 months; who writes, "Ive never seen anything like these. Mine are 2" but are already stunning. Its rare to have a catfish who is out during the day, but these do not seek cover while they sleep. They have a sand substrate but they do not seem to be terribly interested in covering themselves. Perhaps the sand is too dense for them. Adding some trumpet snails this evening to help loosen up and aerate the sand. *btw these guys already have a 40g breeder tank (36x18 floor) waiting for them in case they need more bottom surface to swim around on when they grow out!" |
