     He’s a foot long and lives beside my desk…and watches me. He has the most amazing ‘sail’ too.

         Though mine is now so big he keeps mistaking the tiny plec for possible food. Tiny plec is getting very quick at getting out of the way 🙂

           Our Al got to around 8 inches before he passed away… it was so sad… lil Princess found him belly up… stretched across the plants one morning.

       I thought he looked like a catfish, but I didn’t think you could have one that big in a tank. You must have a large fish tank.

         When I inherited the tank from my son, the catfish, already a couple of years old, was quite small. It is a large tank… but now needs to be larger as this fellow has done some derious growing lately!

           I think they grow in relation to their surroundings. You’d better get a really large tank.

               It looks very odd next to the other little plec, a decade old and no more than two inches long 🙂

               I have a catfish story for you. We were having lunch on the river at a restaurant on a floating dock. My middle son, then in high school, was sitting by the side and holding a french fry as he has explaining something to us. Suddenly the biggest, ugliest catfish I’ve ever seen (Ohio River catfish are UGLY) jumped up out of the water and grabbed that french fry. My teenage son nearly jumped in my lap. Strange behavior for a bottom feeder.

               LOL! They are opportunists… bottom feeders who quickly learn where easy pickings are to be had. I’ll bet that was neither the first french fry nor the last 😉
               It reminds me though of taking a fully grown, heavy dog o the vets (I’ll mention no names to save her blushes). As soon as the vet prepped the syringe, in one bound she was in my arms…and knocked me to the floor. Dogs and sons go straight back to puppyhood when spooked 😉
