I am a cichlidaholic, but starting to get into some cats.

I bought a couple of these guys at big als in Calgary. No latin name and they said they did not have them. They told me they get about 8-10 inches so I automatically thought Zungaro Zungaro(which is what I was looking for). Then up at the till the lady told me the get about as big as your finger.(microglanis) How can you tell the difference between the two?

Check out this thread.

Thanks for that. While it is still a mystery what it is I do know it is not asian as I have one) and it is not zungaro. How big is that thing??? I always thought they only got 10 inches. They were cheap $5 do you have any idea what it could be,

To tell you the truth what I would like is a cat that gets under 2 feet and can go with more aggressive cichlids. (without eating them) I also like the look of bumblee types.

This is what <i>Microglanis</i> looks like:

They grow to about 3 inches max, so there's a distinct possibility of them ending up as a cichlid snack.
<i>Zungaro</i>, OTOH, is a monster that will grow to just a shade under 3 feet.

Thanks again. I swear I will never shop at big als again and keep going back. I have never bought anything from them that was actually what they told me.
