If it's a Pim, chances are I'll have a good stab at identifying it. If it's a Bagrid, however, I'll probably have far more hard work to do 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	Pim = member of the Family Pimelodidae. A family that includes some truly giant catfishes, including the infamous RedTail Catfish, Phractocephalus hemioliopterus, and Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, this latter species reaching a whopping NINE FEET in length in the wild !!! UPDATE: A quick check on Planet Catfish (wwww.planetcatfish.com) which is THE place to visit to ID a catfish, suggests you have Pimelodus blochii. This reaches 10 inches when fully grown, so you'd better have plenty of space for this beast!
