Kookie Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi, Can anyone give me an accurate description of the snowflake catfish? I have two catfish, which i was thinking were bristlenose, but from the pics I've seen, the patternation looks different. I will try and post a pic when they sit still long enough for me to shoot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ok so my catfish has a dark skin, with white spots all over. The spots on their heads are smaller than the ones on the rest of their bodies. Their fins and sails are striped. Across their backs they have a pale patch, which i liken to wings almost. One has bristles on the nose, which I'm assuming is the male, the other doesn't. They are about 5-6 cm's long. I've tried getting photo's, but they are so active and rarely sit still long enough.

morgie Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 maybe a red spotted pleco, when i had one it used to be black with white spots when it was sleeping then when it was feeding it would be pale with black splotches , pretty cool, otherwise it is prob a bristlenose but the dont have spots. the redspot's have a couple of bristles on their nose i think.... :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Have yet to see a redspot with bristles. Snowflake BNs are extremely rare and unless you bought it from an importer or directly from a breeder it's 99% likely to just be a nicely patterned BN. You'll see when you come over on Thursday. I don't have any snowflakes, but many colour variants of BNs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
