I hadn't seen this Raphael Catfish since I added him to the tank! He's a night owl and I'm not so much sooo....Anyway I finally caught a glimpse of the elusive little bugger and my parrotfish seemed surprised to see him too!!

Cute catfish! Those are some great pics in your gallery [acronym:4ac25d3d94="By the way"]btw[/acronym:4ac25d3d94]. What camera are you using?

Nice to hear that he finally showed himself and the pic of the parrot checking him out is priceless.

My camera is a cybershot DSC-P92. I've been practicing taking pictures of fish alot and here's what I have come up with.....

turn off all lights in room except fish tank lights

use flash

use macro setting - flower icon

and then take as many pics as your camera can hold....mine holds apx 60 pics

take the 60 pics and throw out the 59 that are crap

take the one pic that is okay and crop out the crappy parts

then start all over! :P

I had a couple of those a long time ago. Cool catfish

That is soooo cute! How long was he "missing"?

DeFeKt · 10-17-2005, 09:46 PM

hmm, that really is a nice catfish.

Mine went missing for a long time when I had them. Several months later I found a bone in the gravel that looked suspiciously like one of the spines on their fins. lol

He is such a pretty fish! I don't think I have ever seen one before this! Thanks for sharing!
