beautiful....what type of catfish is it?

Edit: HAAA!! Just realized it's a Cuckoo catfish! I thought you were saying the catfish was crazy, lmao.

They are a tad crazy IMO, they think they are the kings of the tank. But they are so darn cute and funny.

Are these those cool guys that eat the cichlids eggs and lays its own and then the cichlids take care of the eggs and fry for a period of time? or have i got them mixed up with something else?

Nope you don't have them mixed up, that is them.

My lfs has one of those in their display tank. Its a really neat fish.

Yes JC I nearly fainted when the lfs had them. I made sure they had been in stock for a while and they had actually QT'd them for 2 weeks prior to selling them. Another shock.

He's really cute! That's a Synodontis genus, right? Before I read your description, I thought it was a small S. petricola.
