Actually its the Mystus Mysticetus, he as been doing after the Porochilus and the other cats a lot recently. Decided to actually sell him since he is the only trouble maker I have witnessed so far.

You can really see how cool the swimming motion of the Porochilus is in this video, also you can see the damage the Mystus has been doing to him
Funny you bring this up I've actually been considering a group of these for my own catfish community. Seeing as my wet pet attempt went bust recently. Anything else noteworthy about them?
Very active, I would recommend defiantly getting a group. Mine swims in the bubbler all day
Also I must admit, I'm still very jealous of your H. olyroides and your P. mucosus now as well and as a fellow catfish enthusiast, I quite enjoy your collection. I hope my 75 will turn out as cool as your 125!
Thanks, love to hear from another rare cat enthusiast. The H. olyroides is a very cool fish but easily the most timid cat in the tank. He will come out and eat pellets with the light on so I still see him but other then that he just chills in his cave. The best trick for cats like this is to set up caves so they feel secure but you can still see them pretty well. The Platysilurus is out and about pretty much all the time and is an amazing fish to to observe, he is 5"-6" now with 12"-13" barbels. I am very sad my Wertheimeria Maculata didn't make it he was so cool. Hopefully I can find another one at some point.
Can't wait to see what cats you get for your 75, good luck
Oh god I'm very sorry to hear about Wertheimeria Maculata those guys are wicked cool. However I do post pics on insta a lot and I will likely become more active here seeing as I'm going to have more time on my hands, I will end up making a thread about the development of it thus far when I pick up one of the species I have in mind ?Thanks, love to hear from another rare cat enthusiast.

Probably the smart thing to do. I am sure still that you are aware that once a dominant fish is removed from the equation, there could be unpredictable consequences, both good and bad. There will be reshuffling of the power structure. Might be a coup or two. It's a gamble worth playing though it seems in your case.
Sighting of my Silurichthys Hasseltii feeding with the lights on, looks just like a micro wels catfish. He hides the most out of any of my cats but it is so cool anytime I see him
