Raphael's

[Mugwump]

Mine are the Platydoras armatulus..or 'Southern striped catfish'...sometimes referred to as the 'talker'....I have three that we got when we picked up a free used 50gal tall, a couple years back. They're in a 110 gal and have pretty much reached their full size of about 8+ inches. They are mostly  nocturnal....but will come out every morning for their 'Frenzy'....I'll try to get a vid one of these mornings.....I call it.."when the big boys come out to rumble"...LOL..they have a very unique catfish style of foraging for the food...and everybody gets out of their way...except maybe a big BN male who claims a larger chunk as his own....LOL...

I've seen those in pet shops before but never had any. They are really beautiful!

Your Raphael's are crazy. They all try to fit in one hole that's barely big enough for one of them. it's funny seeing them try it.
