I have been trying to find the correct name of our catfish species. Fish stores will put about any shortened, nick-named term on the sale tank and I don't even remember THAT name from Adam's. The link represents what I THINK "Stanley" will look like when he's grown to maturity.
He is, now, about 6" in length ( not incl. whiskers ) nose to tail. He has lived with us for a couple of years and has eaten many fish whom he did not consider "pets", I suppose. Even after eating all 6 new additions to the 55 gallon tank ( including 2-pictus catfish(2" long), 2-rosey barbs(1"), and 2-pink,kissing gouramis(2")), he still managed to come out from under his rock to eat the krill, that I feed, the next day. His "pets" include a black-tail bala shark(4"), a pearl gourami(3"), a Nicaraguan cichlid(2"), 2-lemon tetras, 3-zebra barbs, 4-danios, 2-giant danios(3"), and a 5" angelfish...the rest, he eats. Photos to follow. I have no idea how big he could get, but catfish can live a long time - 20 years? He's 3 ...I'm happy he has pets.

If you feel the incessant urge,
and your tongue is sharp and quick,
leave a worthless thought for me
whether cool, or fun, or sick.
