Finally!! The fish that has escaped all photos

[somefishguy]

Well this is first time I have been able to snatch up a picture of this wild caught catfish. I have had it almost a year and seen it maybe about 25 times. I scored this fish from Dave from Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish via the Houston Aquarium Society auction.
This is a synodontis schoutedeni.

Awww he's a pudgy little guy!!

[somefishguy]

That it is!! I would guess it to be about 4" and reminds me of a channel cat, big pot belly but with better markings!!

Cool!
synodontis schoutedeni
or is it synodontis houdini? The lesser know cousin of Harry.

[somefishguy]

I will go with either or!!:) It disappears well into the holey rock.

[lellison]

[ElijahTurtle]

So when do you think we can expect another picture? :confuzeld:


LOL J/K :hehe:

[somefishguy]

1-6 months on next pic, loach is large, very large. Roughly 7.5" long and 3" tall in some spots without fin.

[lellison]

impressive

Yes, very intesting cat you got there. I would assume he comes out at night to feed?
