Red Lanceloteus Catfish

[Jeff1192]

I saw these guys at your east end store. I'm looking for information on them, maybe on L number? I can't find ANYTHING on-line about them. I want to make sure they're good in my tank and read about them a bit. They're definitely cool looking fish that I'd like to add.

Thanks

Jeff

Hey Jeff, just PM'd you about them, sorry it took a while, we've been busy today

For anyone else who's interested in them, they're L10a's, or 'Red Whiptial Catfish', here's the planet catfish profile... cool fish!

Thanks for the info.....hmmm....now that I know they'd be perfect for my set-up I need to try to figure out how I'll squeeze a visit to Big Als into my schedule tomorrow!

Thanks again.

So I managed to get out today and I picked up two of them. One really small one and one medium-sized one. I drip-lined them for about 2.5hrs and added them to the tank about 30min ago. The bigger one is really faded from the stress but slowly going back to his normal colour. They're almost impossible to spot in my 90 gallon though (with all the plants and driftwood).  They definitely camouflage even better then my 2 farlowella acus!

Thanks again for the info Rob.
