[Fishmanic]

We have a winner in Fishforums.net
October 2022 Fish of the Month Contest​

We had 10 awesome Catfish entered in this month's FOTM contest but only one could win...
And the winner is.......

AquaBarb
Let's all congratulate him

Here's his winning entry and its description​

This is one of my Pictus catfish (Pimelodus pictus)

Got a group of 4 in my 5ft central american set up. Ive had the group about 12 months and their around 4 to 5 inches long now. They share the tank with Bocourti, Ellioti and Rainbow cichlids, Colombian tetra and Dension barbs.

Beautiful catfish to have as their more active than most other catfish and get a decent size without getting too big.

Good luck everyone and thank you for viewing

Thank you everyone much appreciated

I dont take my pictures any special way or with anything flashy.

Just use my samsung s21 and i take quite a few shots and keep the ones i like

Edit. Quite a few is possibly an understatement. Ive got 10593 pictures on my phone and i say 60% are fish related
