The lfs has a Prehistoric catfish (Pseudodoras niger)
I stopped at my lfs before work yesterday and I found another interesting catfish. This time it was a Prehistoric catfish, it was selling for $89.99. The one they had wasn't that big yet maybe a foot or so. I guess they can grow pretty massive according to my google image search. They are really cool looking but way too big for any tank I have. Plus pricey as well.

I think I saw those in a pond once in Germany. They were about 3 feet long, some maybe even longer. Pretty freaking with their spike-looking things! $90 for a catfish is pretty pricey, LOL. But they are totally neat to look at.

While were on the topic of catfish I watched that show where that guy tries to catch river monsters or whatever. He was fishing for Wels Catfish, these things are monstrous, lol.
