Just picked up a sweet little Bristlenose Catfish for my tropical tank ;)

The algae has been rampant lately, so we picked up a backing picture to block the light from the window behind, and a very cute little Bristlenose Catfish to help keep it down

Pics to follow (he's tiny and rather hard to photograph )

He just reminded me how my fishes died...
We bought 12 too lol...

Worst ones...
-Red Capped Oranga blew its cap off, so, see the brain and blood!!! it died...
-Air bubble fish eats babies. W00T. No more fishes!
I will never have another fish.

He put his fins in his gills and tried to breathe (similar to when you put your thumb in your mouth and try to breathe out of your mouth).

These guys are peaceful. Common name is the Zebra Catfish.

 

[Pepsi90919]

catfish are gay and never do anything for algae in my experience. just get a chinese algae eater or plecostomus.

 

[Aquaman]

eh........ bristlenose catfish is a plecostomous

Cheers,
