Those are bizarre looking. Not in a bad way, but in a good way! I love unique things. They're getting pretty big, how big are they supposed to get?  |

they r very hardy and grow very very fast!!!!!!! we don't know their actual name, but call them albino catfish, they grow up to 1'-1.5' i guess. Tony will sell them soon...they r getting too big for the tank.

I've seen them at alomst 2 feet. They can be very aggressive. A buddy of my bf's had one that attacked a piranha. Left it's face scarred.  |

I was looking through Siluridae last night at www.planetcatfish.com . they have the slender body but only the bottom full body fin. Just couldn't nail it down.
Here is a list of the family of fish it comes from. If you move your mouse cursor over the name a picture will come up.

AGGRESSION  !!!!!!!!!!!!! u guys have no idea how aggressive these 2 catfish r? i think an adult piranha is no match for Moonspot....the big one, Tony feeds them feeder goldfish and feeder guppies, they finish up feeder goldfish within seconds  !!!!!!!!! that's why theyr r getting this big, the most interesting thing is they swim like snakes. the fishstore guys say the only compatible tankmates for them r irridescent sharks and plecos. |

They just creep me out...the same friend had his "walk" out of his tank...only to end up on the floor full of cat hair. He was big enough to eat a cat. |
