My Aquarium

[Clorey68]

I have many cat fish in my 75 US gallon tank. Mostly small corydoras etc. I have had one cat fish that is brown and has a kind of yellow stipe down both sides of his body and he hides all the time. Once in a while when I feed the other fish, he will come out and I can look at him. A few times I have had to take the fish out of the aquarium when I have moved and this fish makes quite the noise. I almost fainted the first time I heard him as I never knew fish made sounds. I don't know what kind of cat fish he is, but I have had him for almost 18 years and I wouldn't part with him for anything. I love him, he is neat. He is about 6-7" long and maybe 2" wide in the body. Does anyone know what kind of fish he is? Thanks, Loretta

Any chance of a picture to help ID him?

^^ Agreed a picture would be a great help

sounds like some kind of doradid ( talking catfish) perhaps a striped raphael catfish is this it?
