Tiger shovelnose catfish but nobody should buy them because they need huge tanks.

The one in the shop isn't for sale, but I'm sure he'd be upwards of £500. The big "spectacle" fish there are too expensive for anyone in our little village to buy. No temptation there.

That is when you wish you had a 600g concrete tank.

Sailfin plecos, giant fan shrimp, four-lined pimelodus and now this big feller are all on my wishlist. So much space needed, though...
