Arius Sagor

For those after unusual brackish water catfish, here's something you don't see in the UK very often -- an ariid other than Colombian sharks! The second link has a nice photo, and not something you can easily imagine, a catfish in a tide pool!

I've never seen that catfish before... Did you buy it neale? ( I'm guessing the answer was "no", but i'm curious... )

 

[nmonks]

No, didn't buy it. Nowhere to keep it. Just though there might be a few folks here who'd be interested.

Cheers, Neale

On a similar note, I went to Wharf Aquatics today and saw that they have Arius sona for sale. they've had them in for some time though (couple of months?) and they have been growing so fast it's almost unreal.

I've never seen that fish before, Infact I've never heard of it.
