i saw a catfish in a fish shop and i absolutly adore him...i dont know his common name all i know is hes a Brachyplatystoma tigrinum.

i dont know anything about him but im sure he wont be able to go with any of my tanks (typical!!)

heres a picture i found on google - its not a great pic but it shows how beautiful the fish was....i love his tail!!

Hmmm. not all that impossible, then...you'd just need the room for a large tank, big filter and a feeder breeder tank. Too much trouble for me, but then I am lazy. If I had the money, certainly a nice-looking fish. Hope somebody with the right resources and attitude buys him.

Triginsus' are very sensitive fish when under 12", and they cost loads (sometimes £300+)
How much was he Carina, and how big?

he was about 15 inches i would say.....fairly big......and yes he was £340 but the fish shop i saw him in have over priced fish anyway.

just thought i would share him with you.....hes gorgeous!!

Well to be honest Carina, £340 for a 15" tiginsus isnt a too bad, tropical imports have had them in before at 4" for £300, allthough their new triginsus' will be £135 at 4".

these catfish have a reputation of being one of the hardest catfish to keep alive in aquaria,they often just die for no apparent reason.
what is your biggest tank a 400l?seeing as you allready have a tsn and a rtc im wondering what your gonna do with all these monster catfish

 

[Carina]

I'm NOT going to buy him - i was joking.....i have far more important things to spend 340 on lol.

i just thought he was gorgeous and thought you lot might like to see him.....

If I had the space I've have him in a heartbeat...I think they're gorgeous.

They had a 2" one in Wildwoods a few months back, £150 I think was the asking price.

Is the Tig at Brigg Garden Centre?

Its a nice Tig, reasonably priced too considering.

He wouldnt sell me the Thin Bar Dat that was with it in the tank as it was his pet lol
