It would be easier to tell with a side picture, is the fish cooperative enough for you to take one? Either way, I bet it is something that gets fairly sizable. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

~jamie~ Big Fish Posts: 463 Kudos: 671 Votes: 65 Registered: 08-May-2004	Robby, Hi. IMO it is what I had originally stated on Planet Catfish as the g. paraidae but I am leaving it to the "experts" to confirm with you as they are more knowledgable about "import patterns" than I am as I am just going on looks. It would be extremely helpful however if you could find out where it was imported from and that would just confirm it 100%. I'm glad you were able to get some very nice pictures of it, I wouldn't mind having one myself! jamie a.k.a. pureplecs
