I see you beat me to displaying an Asian carp too. Looks like a bighead, I'd expect silver to be a bit more slender, unless the angle throws me off. Well done!

You got my juices flowing. I am working on my "catfish" answer to you. Stand by and hold on to your tacos tight...

Marbled pim 2x (skinny male and full-bodied female 2’ each)

Marbled sailfin pim 3x (2’ each, indecisive, can never figure out the pecking order)

Iridescent shark 4x (1.5’, 1.5’, 10”, 9”; just lost a 28” one)

Black ear shark (6”-7”; a freak; been pacing by the window for months now)

Four-line pim 5x (7”-9”; one’s likely tetramerus, 4 blochii but one’s spots are crisp)

Sun catfish 9x (7”-10”; gluttons)

Giraffe catfish 6x (8” and 8” occidentalis cf Bouche; 3” tanganicanus or tchadiensis or else; three 6” unknown yet, still with Joefish)

Bolt catfish 2x (6” each; characters)

Albino Hemibagrus nemurus (10”-12”, not sure of species after Dr. Ng’s revision; lulls you then turns sudden predator)

Irwini catfish 6x (10”; crankypants; hunger striking for the 3rd month)

Vulture catfish 6x (~12”; characters)

Horse face catfish (~8”)

Synodontis 4x (6” and 8” eupterus; 6” and 10” common hybrid)

RTC 9x (12”-30”)

Jau catfish 2x (~30” 8 year old female-alpha of the 4500 gal and male-alpha-wannabee)

Paroon shark 6x (18”-24”; from Gerber’s, Dayton OH; thanks JasonGoneFishing!)

TSN 3x (18”-28”; prob. 2 fasciatum, one reticulatum or vice versa)

TSNxRTC hybrid catfish (18”)

TSNxMarbled Pim hybrid catfish (25”)

Apurensis catfish 3x (12”, 8”, 8”; all from vastly different sources, was hoping to score a nigricaudus but all turn out the same)

Silurus asotus 5x (8”-11”; characters)

Tig catfish 6x (10”, just got five 3”, thanks Manny C.!)

Lima/elongatus shovelnose catfish 8x (5”-6”)

Brown bullhead 4x (4”-5”, 2 southern and 2 northern)

Black lancer catfish 3x (3”-4”)

Wallago leerii (18”)

Channel catfish (18”; finless variety, the one people keep with a dozen of 1’+ pacu)

Asian USD catfish (3”; bloodthirsty weasel, at 1.5” killed my three 6” harlequin lancer catfish)

Asian RTC (15”, thanks Rouben aka rmkblades! finicky even after many months)

Gulper catfish 3x (5”; characters)

Dorado catfish 2x (1.5”; just lost a 6”-er)

Firewood catfish (had 5 over two attempts, down to one; start off excellent, in weeks or months start spinning and die; something is not right with my water, I’m guessing a pathogen affecting brain / central nervous system they have no immunity to)

Brachyplatystoma platynemum (10”; slobbering catfish or 747 catfish; the finickiest fish I’ve come across so far, even with live feeders and badly sunken tummy it is choosy)

Brachyplatystoma vaillantii (7” from Wes, finicky; need to make sure of the ID)

False piraiba Brachyplatystoma capapretum (10”; after 100 freak outs its snout is bent now)

Piraiba (18”, still at Wes’)

Common pleco ~20x (10”-18”)
