Error in ScotCat?

Not sure how to contact ScotCat because they don't have a forum, but I'm sure somebody reading this will know.

The problem is Chrysichthys furcatus in the Photo Gallery, where it states a max. size of 3.5 cm. Surely that can't be right.

Hmm, yes. Must've taken the data from Aqualog. These things reach at least 65 cm.

Lord knows how many guppies have needlessly lost their lives....

Not to mention Chrysichthys lost theirs; being bought for a two feet tank, ditched when they outgrew it, and pined away as a nonwanted trade-in in a crummy "fishdumptank" in the back of some LFS....

We all know those tanks: they're usually full of subadult Common Plecs (Liposarcus), a few old and ugly Oscars, Jewels (Hemichromis cf nbimaculatus), Convicts (Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus), some unwanted burtoni-males and a few chewed up old and ugly Synodontis nigrita (bought as the real Upside Downer and dumped when it passed the 6" mark).

The unfortunate cat ending up in such a tank is there for life....

You can get some cool fish very cheaply that way. I got a woodcat of some kind with a seriously big mouth. I never see it, but it makes hooting noises at night. Never been able to identify it.
