aquachris Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I got a bunch of fish from someone who had a 29g with a boatload of fish in it... This one I don't know what it is, and the lady told me it was a "black sail cat fish"... But google returns nothing to help... The floating spots they just ate, and this thing is eating like mad. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I believe it is a Synodontis eupterus. Our own @H.K.Luterman has a beautiful one called Pooka. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like it from profile, but it is like solid black. Its really cool though.. most of these fish will get rehomed, but I kinda want to keep this one lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yup thats a Featherfin Catfish, my favorite fish! I definitely think you should keep it, but I'm biased. 🙂 Here's Pooka: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check on it, but wonder if he'd do ok with oscars and silver dollars (I have a 210g with 4 oscars, 4 silver dollars and 2 common plecos). Tons of great places to hide, explore/etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some brand new gouramis and tetras seeking attention though. Just waiting for their home to cycle. Only a couple more days. 😛 The featherfin would go to my parents 55gallon. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of great places to hide, explore/etc. They're often kept with big cichlids, and can hold their own just fine. With such a big tank I'm sure it'd have no problem finding it's own spot. They like caves and driftwood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need more drift wood but it has plenty of caves and hides and areas to explore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquachris Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 I got to get an updated picture of this guy. He is starting to really show his spots.. I take it as a sign of happiness. When I first got him, he was pure black. I really love this guy, he's so cool... Probably because I've never seen one like it before lol. I'll try to get some pics, he doesn't hold still well LOL. It really loves the 210g with the other big fish... Very fun watching it check out all the different places. So glad I decided to keep it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
