Its ok to take them out of the water for short amount of time. Ppl do it all the time to sex and measure them!

You can take them out of the water but its best to lay them of a wet towel, your hands or the net. Never lay them on a dry surface you pretty much strip their slime coat off by doing tht.

That's a pictus cat.

Ok ill make sure i do that. Do you know what catfish that is?

The name of that "pictus" is on the tip of my tounge, I keep forgetting the name. It's between a four line "pictus" and a real pictus catfish

 

[cgthebeast]

Seems like the name would start with either lepoard or spotted something

 

[Mogurako]

It's in the Pimelodus family for sure.
