Anyone Have (or Have Had) A Dwarf Giraffe Catfish?

[daddySEAL]

I'd like to have one catfish of this Dwarf variety in my 125 gal tank(because the "regular Giraffe Catfish" gets to be 2 feet long! ANF THE dWARF ONLY 7-8") because I've read that it has a smaller mouth than most big catfish (to not be able to eat the 3" fish already in there). And

And they have the great "Giraffe" markings.

Has anyone had one of these?

I don't have one, but I know someone on here does... I'm going to start searching, because I would like to remember who! I know I've seen pictures.

Edit: I couldn't find the pictures, but I found out that CFC has/had two of them. Shoot him a PM and I'm sure that he will help you out.

Yep I've got two. Whether or not they will eat 3 inch fish depends on the body shape of the fish, while they won't be able to consume high bodied fish like Cichlids they will slurp down skinny fish like Tetras and Rasboros like spaghetti so some caution does have to be exercised, if in doubt make sure that all tankmates are at least half the size of the catfish.

I think I have one. Haven't seen it in a year, but the last time the tank it is in was emptied it was in there. I see most of my doradids more than I see the giraffe.
