Platystomatichthys sturio, aka Sturgeon catfish. Its a little worse for wear at the moment but the torn fins and damaged barbels are healing nicely so it should be back to its full glory in a month or two.

Should get to around 18 inches but needs a minimum of a 36" wide tank when full grown to cater for the very long barbels which can be over twice the fishes own length.

no really! that peice of driftwood is not really small either, its actually a whole tree...and that tank is 55,000 gallons


honest.


And its supposed to be a crappy attempt! only one free transform, and no size adjustments, or motion blur...or any attempt to match lighting etc ... :> Oh yeah, I do graphic design on the side
