Catfish nut..

[jscoggs27]

Being an ex catfish enthusiast, I tend to find myself looking at the dark corners of lfs tanks, without really realizing it.
Anyway spotted these lovely examples at Maidenhead aquatics St Albans.
Hyalobagrus sp possibly flavus.
Grow to about 1.5 inches, Shoaling fish, prefer slightly acidic water, like a heavily planted enviroment. Apart from the fact that they dont eat algae, these would make an interesting and different addition. I cant have any, I dont have the room.
So if your interested here is a link to the fact sheet on planet catfish.

p.s. They are described in MA as sumatran pygmy catfish.

Hi all,
A new one on me, look very nice, despite being Bagrids rather than Loricariids (or Corydoras), their markings look very Otocinclus/Corydoras hastatus like.

I quite like them Maybe a little plain, but in the right scape I think they'd be an interesting alternative.
