Hara filamentosa info?

[cheeseb0y]

I just grabbed a group of 6 of these and they look like tiny little Goonch and how much trouble can I expect. My water should be just about perfect for them and they will have a million hiding spots.

I'm seeing 2-4" as adults?

There's not a lot of info out there. Solitary but not solitary. Peaceful but aggressive. 2" or 4"?

All I know is that I need a good catfish in this size range. Did I just screw up lol?

I can easily find homes for any extras and my QT tank is solid

A 2-4" inch Goonch looking cat was just too much desire to ignore. Got a group of 6, time to roll the dice.

Yeah I've never seen them before and the last results on here are from about 2009 and those are sale posts.

I've been looking for a solid 3" catfish for awhile, so I've either done something neat and smart or lolol tiny Goonch?

35 years in the hobby and I can still get that wonderful feeling where you find something rare and are pretty sure you can raise it.

Wrong country but you have done something smart and I would follow you if I could!
Should expect no trouble, a peaceful if somewhat larger member of the family of tiny cats. Quite interactive and you should find them out in daylight too once settled.

I've been looking for a good big tiny cat for awhile. 35 years in the hobby and I've somehow never even heard of these.
