They really are very cool. What's nice is that they are so active, and not afraid to be out when the lights are on. My big catfish just wants to stay in the shadows most of the time, but I do like seeing him swim when the lights are off.

Really old video, but I thought you might find it interesting. Pretty amazing how difficult it is to see him!

Edited the info on the video. Thanks again. :) I was confused and under the impression that these guys were the big type of Pictus. Guess I am lucky that my big catfish seems to have a good relationship with them!

Thanks for the compliments on the fish, guys. :) He's super active, too. But oh boy does he eat a lot. I actually planned to have a catfish and Angelfish tank, as my previous Vulture catfish wasn't aggressive towards anything. This guy is different, and after he ate an Angelfish, I had to...

Nice, that explains it! Thanks!

Ah, thanks. I've had a hard time finding any information. Do you know what their scientific name is? Thanks so much!

Hi folks, It's been a long time since I was here. Just saying hi again and hoping to be around more again. I now just have two 125 US Gallon tanks. No smaller ones. Cheers, Tim

125 US Gallons. Yeah, I saw that as well. First time I had ever seen one outside my tank!

My Vulture Catfish eating pellets in slow motion. Believe it or not, I had siphoned out all the poop two days ago. The Pleco who also is in the tank does a great job of immediately 'decorating' the sand. It's pretty awesome seeing the vacuum effect when they open their mouth and suck the food in.

Hi, Sold to me as Angelicus Catfish, I assumed at the time they were Pictus Catfish. But, they don't seem to have Pictus Catfish growth rate. Can anybody confirm? Video: Ignore the big fish who swims by, that's my Vulture Catfish. Thanks, Tim

Congrats, awesome shot. :)

Thanks! For those interested, it is a Vulture Catfish.

He should be able to find it, just make sure not to overfeed and that it doesn't get sucked into the filter.

Sounds to me like you have a really good person at that store, make sure (if the advice continues this way) to always look for them, they are a rare breed. Ghost shrimp sometimes do swim to the surface for food, it depends if they feel threatened. I have some in a predator tank and they are...

Do they eat behind the heater? Could be a burn. I use Fluval E-Series (which have a case around the heater built-in) because of this.

Neon Tetras are really sensitive, so are Shrimp, but Tetras (in my experience) even more. For them all to die that quick I think they've been through some sort of shock, whether it was a large pH, temperature or water adjustment. It is possible for live fish to survive in treated water like you...

Are your living fish near the surface of the water? Make sure you're not starving them of oxygen...

Ahhh, Lyretails come with both Guppies and Mollies. :) I assumed Guppy, sorry for incorrect response in that case.

No, it's not their personality based on your information: They nearly killed her because of your male to female ratio. You have three males, all trying to get one female interested in them. To avoid agression (or rather, to spread it out) you should have it in the other way around: 1 male, to 3...

My mother did this starting her indoor tank in England. Not sure if temperature makes a difference (can you kill the bacteria that way?), but she did it during the winter time (in England), so temps weren't that cold, but if you're in NO it might not be too cold there either and might compare...

Those look great. Long term goal to get a Sea Dragon/Horse.
