Actually, I own one myself. His name is Mr. Plop. (for obvious reasons) They're wonderful tank inhabitants, in fact, they're a little like possums. When we bought him, I lifted him out in the net and when he didn't move, I (VERY GENTLY) picked him up by the tail and he was practically limp!! I was so worried he was dead, he was certainly alive and kicking in the bag!!
He's happily established in my mom's 10 gallon tank; he likes to get himself stuck in the java moss.

or banjo catfish, i have one myself, if you have sand (you dont i see) you wouldnt see him. also they are very good if you have sand becasue they move around in it so you dont have to run a chop stick through it

oh, and you can hold him for some time before he notices he isnt on the ground

Good Choice Wuv.

Mine are very cute, It is a treat when they are above the gravel. Mine would dig into the larger gravel aswell. but they love the Black Flourite.

I saw Another Type of these a Few Weeks Ago. +5" Monsters with huge horn protusions.
