Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Pretty new as far as I can gather. Fishbase says it reaches 7 inches in length, but I'd be wary just in case it matches some of its bigger relatives. This page]http://www.angelfire.com/biz/piranha038/ossubtus.html[/link] contains some taxonomic information, and [link=this page from fishbase.org gives some information about its reported wild diet.

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	If that's not an Aba aba, or Gymnarchus niloticus, I don't know what it is. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	I think Shini has the win here. I concur. Looks very much like Gymnarchus niloticus. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Looks to me as if it could be a juvenile Neolebias ansorgei. Adults tend to have more green on them. One of my favourite rare fishes. Wish I could get them!!! Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002
