i have new catfish :)

a lfs had a delivery of some unusual catfish yesterday, including honeycomb woodcats, which look amazing but at £14 each were a bit out of my budget atm; and marbled dwarf catfish (similar to south american bumblebee cats). I'd been keeping an eye out for SA Bumblebees for a while now but couldnt resist getting a couple of these guys pics to follow, as i now have a digi camera, but theyre not too shy and quite lively. very happy with my new additions

Would they happen to be Batrochoglanis raninus (formerly Pseudopimelodus)? If so i hope there is nothing under 4 inches in the tank with them as these little cats can swallow things up to their own size with reasonable ease.

no, they had them down on the list as Microglanis Poecilus, from what i've read on them so far the main differences to microglanis iheringi are in the markings, so fingers crossed they wont get too big and eat everything. The only thing that would really be at risk anyway would be my kuhlis and the female cockatoo cichlid that i have.
the honeycomb woodcat were on the list as Tatia Perugiae
