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.

Love that sturgeon catfish CFC. How big is he gonna get? he's a stunner!!

 

[CFC]

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.

[Paul_MTS]

lol, nice try in paintshop, the square tails and 3 dots in front of each one gives it away.

 

[Michael Roth]

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
