great looking fish!

I have a catfish that is very similar to yours and mine is really shy as well. I swear every time I see him he is at least a cm. bigger! Your catfish is a cutie How big is he?

How sweet! Great shots of your baby....

Angelika

Thankyou everyone... I would say his body size is about 3.5".... when I get my large tank he will obviously be one to be moved.....but for now hes just hanging out....eating and hanging on the inside of caves until night

Very cool. I've only seen one of those in person and yours is great looking!

MissMTS

Mine is about 7 inches now. If yours is the same kind, he definetly has more growing to do. They are such cool fish

Angelika

yes I have been warned .... what kind of catfish is it, do you know. My friend gave me a 12 gallon tank and he came with it...

MissMTS

It looks an awful lot like a cuckoo catfish (synodontis multipunctatus). A lot of the synodontis species look similar, so its hard to tell. The Cuckoo catfish can get up to 10 inches according to one of my books. Mine is not a cuckoo, I am not sure what mine is. It looks slightly different from yours

Angelika

oh yes he does look like a cuckoo catfish I just googled it... thankyou so much.... now I know Im not going to have an 18 incher whew big sigh of reflief.

MissMTS

No problem. Its always a bit scary when we end up with a fish that we don't know about.

Thats a very nice cuckoo catfish you have there, great pics,
they are not the easiest of subjects.
