Sailfin Catfish

[supersmirky]

Here's apparently another tank buster that I have never seen before. Known as a sailfin marbled Catfish or saddle catfish. Certainly is interesting to look at!

T...where did you see one of these? In a personal aquarium or in a state aquarium?

Brandy, I'm gonna put it in your bathtub! :brandy:

SS, I saw it in a tank at a restaurant in Huntington Beach, CA. They had a listing of the fish posted on the tank and recall seeing that the cat was a sailfin cat. Even commented that on a windy day, it just had to stick it's fin out of the water and sail away.

I had a turtle live in my bathtub when I was a little girl.....until my mom found it! LOL

Here is one not so big-only about a foot long. Had him 5-6 years ago. Very cool fish. If anyone wants one-a friend of mine in Seattle has one thats about 14" that he could ship.

[supersmirky]

Fishman...that is one cool fish. Yours looks way better than the stock photo I found

[biggin]

I just saw pics of a buddies last night and thought "That's a cool fish wonder if I can keep one...." started reading about them and it is a No... but very cool fish.

[xuannhat2208]

[fishyjoe24]

[fishman76092]
