Fruju Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hey guys, looked on sites about US catfish stock and stuff, and compared to us they rock, our variety sucks, just wondering if anyone knows if we can get catfishes larger than a syno that isnt a plec? i find that catfishes make interesting pets but i was just looking 4 something a bit more exotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia-15 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 haha, go to all the lfs and buy all the pictus cats and if your lucky, one will out grow the others but theres a couple biggies floating about, and as far as i know, the owners would rather eat rat poison than part with their big cats.
