I love these fish, my mates after some now and your local to me arent you (wirral) if so where did you find them?
 
Yeah, 9 hour round drive to pick them up from down south. 4.5 hours each way. Brought them back in a poly box.

The only place I've ever known to have them up north was Pier Aquatics in Wigan. But I found them kind of unhelpful when I was looking for mine (only spoke on phone).

Other than that. Aquarist Classifieds or specialist importers.

Last one I saw for sale on Aquarist Classified was £300 though. :no:

£300!! as cute as they are they aint that cute
 
Aww they're so cute! Do they eat algae or anything or just rub tummies on the glass and look cute?
 
No, they only eat meaty fish.

But I stuff some pellets in their food too.
 
Brilliant fish one of my favs :D I saw some in Pier a while ago but they were not as fat as yours are - hate to say it but I think they were only about £90 but not massive. But yours were cheap compared to some specimens.

I paid £150 for both of my fish with a custom made tank, stand, filter & heater. Bargain!

I'd never pay £90 for a fish. :huh:
 
Never say never..... I saw an L95 for £175 ages ago at Pier and still regret not getting it lol!!! But you certainly got a bargain.

In the video they have very similar behavior as my Agenisous - I wonder how far apart they are species wise as they are both wood cats and look pretty similar - though mine are much smaller and less bulbous but there cant be that many upper water catfish haha!!

Aw God, imagine if it died though. Even the best of fishkeepers can be the victim of an unforseen fishy disaster. You'd be gutted!

I just googled Agenisous because it isn't a species I am familar with...WARNING! Don't anyone else do that and look at google images. Ewwwww! :cool:

But found it in the end. Stunning looking catfish! Really, really like it.

From the sounds of it, it looks more active than the Gulpers.

My Gulpers go through spells of being 'active' - and by that I mean what you see on the 1st video. Then they go through spells of doing nothing at all (unless the tank is in complete darkness). They're strange fish.

OMG!!! What the hell?? Seriously do not understand that why do they have the same name???

DO NOT GOOGLE!!

Well anyway.... yeah they are nice fish :) But dont do a lot haha!! Lights out, early morning and feeding times - they dont even eat everyday though haha!

Wills
 
I know, haha!

I feed my Gulpers once a week.
