alisha Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 just had a look at one of those ira and it does not look like that. Hollywoods are selling them. They have the body of a twig catfish and have a false bill that makes them look like an alligator. they have two whips on there tail, even there skin looks like alligator skin!!!!

CatBrat Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi, I keep one of these in my community tank and it seems to be fine. I haven't found much info on them either. I think that its scientific name is Farlowella henriquei. Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
