I’m very excited to see Golf Ball snooting around at feeding time! I never saw them with the lights on before I moved them to the Big Boy Tank, but now they come out regularly to hoover up all the pellets before the cories can get to them!
Unfortunately they can’t fit in their beloved cave anymore, but has found a new home behind some choice driftwood.
I love your fish
I’m just so stupid that I don’t understand singular they right now
I’M A FUCKING SINGULAR THEY please tell golf ball and the cories they are good noots
Gotta love these guys. You can practically hear the little voice going “I’m just a seed pod, I’m just a seed pod!”
Two-rayed Banjo Cat, Amaralia hypsiura
Banjo cats, when not up for sale, should be housed with sand and/or leaf litter that they can burrow into. They’re timid lil guys, and the more places they have to hide, the more you see them. You still won’t see them very often, but it’s great when you do. There are multiple species of banjo catfish available in the hobby, albeit sporadically, and all are great little fish. They’re about the only non-corydoras catfish, aside from honeycomb/oil cats, that can be trusted not to eat your other fish.
Don’t put it back, its an aggressive invasive species
Christ
That’s a lot of nuggets right there
can u imagine going noodlin and this chomps down on you oh my god
Duuuuude!! Catfish grow to the amount of food there is which means the river these guys came from must be plentiful as fuck, or it’s eating the native species. PSA: do NOT catch and release catfish. The fuckers will screw with the rivers ecosystem if they’re not native to the area. These are the sort of size fish that WILL have a go at eating people as well, they will probs chock but yeah. Catfish have little to no sight, since they’re bottom feeders they scout for food mostly using their feelers, and just swallow whatever they think can fit in their mouths.
I watch a lot of Jeremy Wades River Monsters when I’m bored. The shit he films is ridiculous and I love it.
Edit: Cat fish are also cannibals if there’s no other food source.
The immediate Southern response; how well will this go with cornbread?
No, those are wels catfish. They’re supposed to get that big. Yes, they need a lot of food, but they try to grow to that size. Other catfish won’t grow to that size no matter how much you feed them.
the target must make a dexterity saving throw or become restrained
This is a very large school of catfish. Catfish, like most fish, are excited by the sounds and movement of other fish that are eating. Unlike most fish, they can breathe for a period of time out of water, and are therefore largely undeterred in their pursuit of food by being temporarily removed from water.
Basically, they’re all going “THERE’S FOOD” and then “WHERE MORE FOOD” at the same time.
Anything novel being introduced to an animal’s environment is technically enriching, so yeah, they’re not incorrect in calling it that. It’s definitely not something anyone would plan as enrichment for a fish, though. It’s likely mostly meant to be silly instead of educational.
The fish was probably interested in it, too, it’d be a strange taste and texture and catfish have very sensitive mouths designed to inspect tastes and textures.
