Hi, The Banjo Cat will make a good talking point for visitors provided you can find it in the tank. I am in Christchurch and the shop I got the fish from has another half dozen or so. I assume it is very common when I got it but a quick search through the web seems to suggest that they are in the rare/exotic category!? I won't put any shop specific info here as I am new to keeping fishes and should not make recommandations when I don't know enough. I am happy to supply more specific information over private E-mail. kuos

Hi, The banjo catfish is somewhat unusual. Here is the little info I know after a bit digging on the net. Name: Bunocephalus Coracoideus Nocternal - never see it move since I got it (no, it's not dead, it appears in different spot every morning ) Possibly the ugliest fish in the shop. There are a 2 different species called banjo Catfish, but I am sure the one I have goes by the latin name above. Kuos

Hello, Great website with lots of information. It would have been really useful if I have found it a few week before I got my aquarium. Oh well, I found it now!! :lol: I got a 37 liter tank with a 'pair' of Dwarf Gourami and a Banjo Cat fish. I use the term pair loosely as the male is slightly aggressive towards the female especially during feeding time. Hopefully they will get use to each other soon. I am going to go look around the web site a bit more. bye. A newbi from Christchurch
