Enjoy

A tour of our fishtank - YouTube

Summer · 12-08-2011, 11:08 PM

Great vid! That catfish, omg. I think i have one unless he died, i dont see him much. But he will need to move to the 75 if he still exists lol

Bee · 12-08-2011, 11:10 PM

Ha, yeah Spot is our lil... big cutie. He's pretty awesome.

Summer · 12-08-2011, 11:19 PM

i went to see. mine is still there. I thought they only got to be like 3-4 inches!

Bee · 12-08-2011, 11:26 PM

Ha ha ha. I have no idea how old he is. But he is huge. But the most docile fish. I can put him in a tank with any fish and everyone is happy.

Summer · 12-08-2011, 11:32 PM

wow, and he is an upside down cat?

Bee · 12-08-2011, 11:40 PM

Yes. That's what we were told and I guess he looks like one. But he is rarely upside down anymore. He comes out mostly at night.

beaslbob · 12-09-2011, 10:04 AM

the cat is a plecostomus (pleco) or suckermouth catfish.

at least I think so.

My wife had one that was over 10" long so they can grow big.

love the video and especially the lace leaf plant. May try one someday.

Are you sure? Cause it's not hard and bony like a pleco, it is soft and squishy.

Bee · 12-09-2011, 10:13 AM

Nope can't be, I googled it. Defiantly not him.

Well I'm not a expert but sure looks like a pleco to me. Does it have a "sucker mouth".

See:

Plecostomus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

still just .02

Bee · 12-09-2011, 10:27 AM

Upside Down Catfish
He looks exactly like that fish. Although it says they only reach 3-4 inches. His mouth is kind of a sucker mouth, but not exactly like it.

beaslbob · 12-09-2011, 10:40 AM

IMHO you got a pleco.

check out the third picture down on the right side of the link I sent.

(which I linked to below in my gallery)

Seems to me it looks like the fish in your video, is the right size(up to 2 feet long), and has the same (hiding) behavour.

We have had plecos before... It's not him. I will take another video and show you. I can get him to come out by using a laser pointer.

I'll take your word.

Don't cats like to follow laser pointers?

Bee · 12-09-2011, 10:51 AM

Yes they do. It's actually quite fun. The platies and guppies like it too. The corries are scared of it though.
