We just got some new fish in and I was soooo excited. We got these little catfish in called Stone Catfish. Anyone know anything about them? Since they're new, I don't know too much about them. I've been looking around on the internet but I can't find anything.

Isn't that what she's doing? I believe she works at PetSmart and is trying to research the new fish her store got in stock. |

No Sir Minion, that's not it. It doesn't have the orange bands. It's all dark gray. It's very small, about an inch. It almost reminds me of a mix of a raphael and common pleco. It looks like it has sharp fins like a cory. I'm sorry it's not the best description. I'm a bad...uh...describer and it's 1:27 am here. I'd take a picture if I a digital camera. Sam, I agree w/ you. That's why I haven't bought one yet. I know my boss would have info but I have to ask him about it. And comet, you are exactly right.

I beleive stone catfish is a rarely used comon name for Hara hara, they are more commonly called Moth catfish.
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/erethist/hara/250_f.php If thats it information on them is a bit scarce but they only grow to about 3", are nocturnal and are peaceful to anything but the smallest fish (like guppy fry) which may be eaten. |

AHHH! I don't know!!! I'll have to ask my boss for the scientific name tomorrow. It's definitely not a Stone Cat reg, but thanx anyway. CFC: I'm not sure. I haven't seen the little things since Sunday and they're sooooo small it's hard to see the details. But I'm not giving up!!

I have A friend that absolutley loves her stone catfish! They stay very small (under one inch) and require quite a bit of floating foliage, they also like to be kept in groups. Hers just eat the flake food that she feeds her other fish, she has a community tank so they do very well in there, I wouldnt suggest putting them in with any agressive fish though. Hope that helps!

I use to have one stone catfish in a 2.5 gallon with a betta. It disappears soon after I got it. They usually stay around a 1'' to .5'' at adulthood making them very suitable for many tanks. I believe they also enjoy the company of there own kind, so if you decide to buy get a small school. Otherwise, they hide almost continually.
