Banjo Catfish

According to the size I expect snails to get to, he is really tiny.
How big you think it'll get?

 

i looked at getting one of these! what size tank do u have him in?

 

Awesome catfish and great snail eaters too.
I have three in a 210 and they are all around 3" or so, got em around 2", they are supposed to grow UP TO 6 inches.
Best part about them is they tend to go into a daze when handled. I do not recommend netting these guys, rather just scoop them up from their bellies, they wont swim away.

If you can observe them during the middle of dark hours its a sight to be seen, not only are they schoolers but they literally help eachother out finding stuff to eat.

 

thats so cool =C

 

actually night is the ONLY time you will see one unless its moving spots OR sick/dying. They are the same colors as flatheads(yellow cats) the molted blacks and browns for camo and hide in the gravel all day. Neat fish though, I plan on 3 more for the 210 and maybe a pair for the 52g if I can find info on genderizing.
