    Gulper Catfish Slime Coat Coming Off

    I have recently acquired a gulper catfish, it is still acclimating to the new environment but the slime coat is coming off on the fins and in front of the head. Is this normal, should I do more water changes or just leave it as is for now? Thank you

    Does anyone have any info on Pseudopimelodus bufonius? I am considering getting one and I hear they reach 10” and are pretty cool for aquariums 100+. Also, any special care requirements? Thanks!!!!

    Fish louse?

    I think my gulper has a louse (cue goosebumps and skin crawl). Would that affect his appetite? How would I remove it? I've had him a week today. He's wild caught but I imported him from a Cichlaholics. Pics aren't great. Not much practice taking photos of moving objects through glass.

    Identify a catfish at my LFS

    This is a new catfish that my LFS just got in for sale. There is no name on the aquarium except “Catfish-NFS (ask employee for details)” Can anyone identify it? PS: If you don’t notice it, there is a very pronounced circular black dot right before the start of the tail.
