i saw this catfish that was in an assorted catfish tank , i could tell what all they were except for 1 kind. it was kinda flat and striped. probably about 2.5 inches. any ideas?

flat? a shovelnose cat maybe? can you give us more of a description, what were the colors?

Hamm35924 · 09-18-2005, 07:29 PM

it was sorta red and black, its not a shovelnose, i just kinda wanted to know because it was $3 and i didnt know if it was worth getting.

Probably a rainbow shark or a red tailed cat.

Sorry I read the red and black post but I missed the flat and striped post. By flat do you mean like a loach?

fishfreaks · 09-18-2005, 07:59 PM

was the stripe red and the rest of the body black? vice versa? or was it the fins that were red and the body was black?
