I have a catfish in my tank, i've just been told. It was put in when my sisters tank collapsed and i've just been told.

I've never seen it as it hides all of the time. Can't get a picture as i don't know where it is in my tank, don't want to remove everything, but i can decribe it for you.

Its black, with white on it, armoured back with spines, it clicks if you take it out of water, and as i said it hides all of the time, but it attaches itself to a peice of bogwood or inside of a cave and it's nearly impossible to get off. i've never seen it in my tank. The only reason i know what it looks like is when my sister first got her tank, this came with it and we had to get it out for transportation.

Have a google search for a Takling catfish (either striped of spotted depending on its markings )
