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. What are the differences between an...

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...

Thank you! I look forward to learning and growing with this community.

Hm, that may explain a few things. I have a pretty bight light, but it doesn't illuminate the edges of the tank, which is where he likes to hang out for the most part. I've noticed he also seems to have a cult following among the cory catfish. Whenever they find him, they all cluster around him...

I am a novice fish-keeper who is slowly learning the ropes. I love to learn more about fish of all species, even those I don't plan on keeping myself anytime soon.
