brown (talking?) catfish

Post by Stephanec »

Hello, I can't seem to find the exact name of one of my catfish. This is the one I have the longest, he's about 3years in my aquarium and I've bought it when it was still little(so max 4yo). He's very affraid of light and people, he will only come out at night. During daytime it hides in his 'wooden house'.
Now as for the coulors etc: he's brown with some black spots the size of 1cm²/0,39inch². He also has those tentacles (6: 2large at the upper side of his head, and 4 smaller at the bottom of his head(these smaller also split into even more smaller tentacles). He's about 13cm (5inch). He also has an open mouth, so not the sucking kinda fish.
I also think he belongs too the talking kind of cats since it makes strange noises when caught.
I want to appoligise for the bad foto's, but he doesn't like to stay still when I get him out of his home,he didn't feel like posing :P

Thx in advance :)
