and i know the tank looks horrible but i have some wood soaking in the bath and when its done im putting that in and getting ride of all the plastic plants and get some live once. im hopefully going back in a few weeks to get a synodontis petricola becuase there only £3.99 for a 3" one.

I think Van will probably get those other catfish next week sometime. They were really nice ones and don't get too big either.

there all syill doing good the new bn and my old one are hiding upder some wood together and the upside down catfish just havent stopped they just keep wizzing round the tank. from what i read about banjo catfish i thought i was only going to see them like once a month but ive only seen him burry himself once and the rest of the time he swims around its quite funny to watch he dosnt actually swim he just closes all his fins and tail and used his front fins to pull him along and uses his tail like a snake to push him along.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
the upside down catfish are now almost fully grown and about 2 1/2" long but they seem to hid alot now i dont really see them. i swaped my cons for another small one its only 1" including tail.
the banjos doing great i see him the most out of all of them and if i have my hand in the tank doing somethink he will swim round my hand.
hear are some old pics of the banjo from a few months ago

I had a longfinned albino, was lovely but gave him to my mum and he wedged himself behind the filter and died Sad

Can you find them online maybe?
