Maybe this is a dumb question, but hey, the dumbest question is the one you never ask, right?
I have a Banjo Catfish, and as I've been learning more about them as a species, the more questions I find myself asking about them, and armored fish in general.

So, I've been keeping Betta fish since I was a kid. I've learned a lot in the 15 years, and foolishly thought I was getting to be an expert.
Then, I decided to try my hand at keeping a female sorority tank. I researched the ever-living crap out of the topic before I even stepped into PetSmart...
