Amazing looking catfish...don't think I've ever seen one before today. Love to own one though...very niiice....:drool:
 
They're awesome little fish. I've got 3 hara cats in my 30 blackwater. Rarely seen, but always a treat when they appear. If you look really carefully you can often see them nestled in the anubias leaves. Really interesting lil guys!
 
I have mine in a blackwater community. They do fine. Nocturnal feeders with small mouths though so feed accordingly.
 
I believe they are also sometimes called "mini moth", "anchor" and "Asian stone" catfish. I have been trying to get some for my nano tank and the local LFS guys all look at me like I'm nuts, I don't think to many people have heard about/come across them, even in the trade. I am jealous. I would love to see more pictures.
 
i got 5 today and they look pretty wild. the bottom of them looks like no other catfish ive seen before it has a cupped shape like it could stick to the glass with its body. they look like a cross between a cory cat and a pleco but alot more fins.

they have the smallest eyes ive ever seen on a fish to.


ill post pics in a bit when the camera battery comes back up. there hiding some but coming out a little now and slowly swiming around. ive never see them for sale much thats why i bought them when i could.
