I assume a giraffe catfish is too big to kill, anyway!
He warns them off with his barbels already, and hes eating like , well, a small giraffe.

One of calilassea's often recommended civil engineering projects in my near future then.

Beautiful specimen LHG! That has to be one of the coolest patterns I've ever seen on a catfish.

How big is it at the moment? Using the plant as comparison it looks like 5-7 inches!

Good luck with that beauty of a fish

Not far off, hes about 9 inches, but in a few years he will be over 2 feet at least, so he will be my biggest catfish to date.

Wow, he's very impressive
And yes you're correct, I've heard that giraffe cats can get way over 2ft, so good luck for your immanent tank building

edit: nearly had a bad typo!
