Sir Banjo of Cat

[Storm]

The quality isn't great but I just had to share the cuteness of this guy! I'll try to get better shots and post them. He's grown slightly since I've had him and now he's about 3/4 of an inch. Thanks for looking!

He is a cute little fella .

Only 3/4" ?

How long have you had him ?

Glad to see him in a Quarantine tank .

Cute. but that's not a banjo....

You know, I was kind of wondering about that...I saw an adult banjo at my lfs recently and the colors were darker. I'm basing this on what my friend told me it was and figuring it might change as it matures. Any idea what kind it is?

 

[bunjiweb]

thats an "African Suckermouth Catfish".

Banjo catfishes are flatheaded guys that are much bigger and like to bury themselves in the sand......

Heres a link to info on the African suckermouth catfish:

Thanks, bunji but after looking at that link he doesn't look much like the African Suckermouth Catfish, either. He is still quite small so maybe he'll change as he matures? I'll try to take some clearer photos and hopefully I can get a positive ID?

Thanks again.

If you can post a close up of it, someone here will definitely be able to give you a positive ID on it

P.T.

It almost looks like a Dora of some sort...

There is a massive influx of these fish at the moment, we have four also. They are being called 'stone cats' and the info is as follows :

We have a winner!! That's exactly my cat! Thanks so much. Guess I'll have to change his name now.
