Striped Raphael, Talking Catfish that is, they are nocturnal
and have proved pretty difficult to get a pic of.

Very nice cats, is that a background of the riccia? If so or not it looks nice!

I'm afraid it's not riccia, just a tank background.

LOL I didn't sit very long, I only got them 3 days ago and
they had been hiding under that peice of driftwood since
then, I was lucky enough to catch them on an excursion
last night and snapped a few pics.
