Re:A word of warning. 9 Months ago  
Hey Delboy, how about a pic?

A few days ago, they suggested one of those to me in the shop when I was looking for something to put in my 66 gal. It had been returned by someone (who would have thought) and was like Oscar length, and the mouth injured, from banging into the glass I guess. The anal fin was kinda rotten away as well. Poor guy
Besides I could not keep it due to the size, I seemed to remember they need salt, and more of that the bigger they get, or was that another catfish

Re:A word of warning. 9 Months ago  
Iridescent Catfish is defnitaly a "HIGH FIN PANGASIUS" take my advice and dont get into these i use to have one in my 1000liter tank he eventually got to big for the tank to the point where he couldnt even turn around anymore these fish belong in the wild they r really beutifull but they get to big and and they are very stress full fish the they get frightend very easyly and swim into the sides of the tank and damage themselfs mine was approx 800mm when i had to get rid of it and it ended up in a tank at the durban airport which was more like a huge indoor pond.

id love to have one of thse but to be honest with u they were not made to be taken out of the wild.
