do you think you can get a different pic than that one? That one is hard to make out believe it or not.
ok ill try to get more pics.. I will have to measure.he was actually on the back glass and I turned the camera.
ok so Here ya go I couldnt get the whole body but I got the mouth and the fin and he is 11 inches(hubby had to help me so I can get him in the corner while he measured lol)
13 rays means he's a hypostomus I think. That means he's go the potential to be two and a half feet long! These are great fish to keep, lots of personality and interaction if you want to hand feed, but they do need a big tank.
yeah I am agreeing... that is why I asked to see the mouth and the dorsal extended... one of the easiest ways of identifying the type of species... although as to the specifics I am not sure... (s)he isn't your standard common. I do wishPlanet Catfish was up and running right now... would be a lot easier
