NEW RARE pickup: Aluminum catfish! and some buenos aires tetras!

[Plec123]

got this guy on monday... ain't he a looker? still trying to get a correct species i.d. on him though.
Theres also barely any info on the Chrysichthys genus (his genus) on planetcatfish.com... all i know right now is that he's strictly nocturnal and eats flakes. :ROFL:

That is one google lee eyed buddy boy of a fish my goodness !!!!!!!!!

[Plec123]

he's not gonna "outgrow his eyes" either. theyre gonna be the same proportions when he's a big ol' monster! :D that should help him retain his cuteness.
