Liking what I see! What sort of catfish is that?

Ornate Bagrid - per divers den.... could be gnooch ? - I know it’s probably not, I’ve read others complain about them selling under the proper ID

C Chicxulub get over here and help the poor man out, what do you think the ID is?

From that pic I have no idea lol. I can say for certain it's not a goonch however!

I'd like to see it in the tank.

Well, the butterfly and leaf fish seem to be eating what ever I put in , pellets, flake, vibra bites, and krill...

Gotta love the commercial organizations!

The Bichir are all very... lovely... they seem to be getting to know one another, laying on one another...

The afer will be the wild card, the leaf fish will stay in the 40g qt I’d imagine for at least weeks to fatten them up as I’d imagine they are afer bite size and this point ?

Little late night fish shuffle, needed the 40g QT tank for my severums

added them to 120g then thought... leaf fish wayyy too small... put them in a spare 45g upstairs...I could only find 2/3 last night... presumed the worst until I got up this morning.... 3rd ones still alive i there! added the butterfly fish to the 120g...

Not usually. Most will eventually eat pellets.

Agree with twentyleagues. My wild caught lapradei took a while but it now readily eats hikari carnivore pellets.

They adapt easily. My guess is in the wild they are more of a opportunist then a hunter. Meaning they probably scavenge alot and are more apt to eat less desirable things then some of the fish we try to keep.
