wow thats huge the lfs said that he would grow to about 10 inches not 39 but then other sites sau 20ish and some 10 so im deappy confuses but thanks for the speedy replies

the LFS is wrong, go with the planetcatfish size, which by the way does not include the tail

Like fenne11y I also recently purchased one of these and my lfs told me they would only get to 10 inches!!!!

I am very dissapointed, still he's only little and he'll take a while to grow...I suppose when he gets too big for my tank I'll have to find him a new home

may look cute now but in a few months time as it gets bigger and bigger it will loose all colouration and go grey
