Here you go viki this is them :good:
mum n dad are not pictured here, have to photograph them soon
 
Such a beautiful species, i've got a 4 inch Male in my tank.

He's so beautifully designed

One question though... mine seems somewhat nocturnal? I've noticed him coming out a lot more when the lights are off, very rarely see him during daylight?

correct most catfish are nocturnal and you do not usually see them during daylight hours,,,in my tank you see the fry all day long, but mum and dad you really only see around late evening time, also in with them i have a candystripe plec which you can go months without seeing,, so what ive done as most of them in the tank now are catfish is regulated the hours off light as in natural daylight then you see them alot!!!

in my other tank i have a sailfin plec/common plec which are a lot less timid and you see them most of the day, a hoplo catfish which seems to come and flit around during the day but is out evening time around 7-8pm,,,then a birchir which also hides most of day coming out round 4-5pm :lol:

Oh ok just wanted to check... thats a relief :)
 
coool, never had any of my plecs lay before. hopefully this time i have enought BN to pair up.
 
MAN they are adorable, but to be honest i don't like thee look of the adult BNs so i will never buy them.
