Perky Mega Fish Posts: 1064 Kudos: 1036 Votes: 162 Registered: 24-Nov-2003   | Was sold to me as a Twig Catfish and it eats algae. I have pictures here The tail is forked and the two ends trail for a bit. The nose is not pointed like Farlowella noses. |

Your best bet would be to compare with images on PlanetCatfish yourself.:%) -------------------------------------------- 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 | Perky, just in case, check out Lamontichthys filamentosus too. These are similar to Sturisoma species, but even more outlandishly finned. And, if you *do* have the Lamontichthys, get breeding them fast because they are sky-high desirable and astronomically expensive in the shops!   |

I have been wanting one for years.:%) -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |
