==================================================
hi all,
i had previously inquired about this fish i saw in a petshop. i ended up
buying the 2 that were constantly swimming against the glass. they are
basically whale- or shark-looking catfish with a cool blue color.
at home they were constantly swimming against the glass. i lost one as it
disappeared (a disadvantage of heavily planted tanks) but the survivor seems
to be doing well. it's an almost blind fish, but it swims with its mouth
open all the time. since it's in constant motion, it requires hearty
feedings often.
at the shop, it was housed with tiny checkerboards, but they didn't go after
them. so i assume they are not predatory but possibly parasitical fish?
anybody got any more info on this fish?
