Jaguar Catfish! - Liosomadoras oncinus

[FishBeast]

Wanted to share a couple of photos of this reclusive looker! Anyone else keep these cool cats? Post your pics!

Searched the forums but the last post about them is from 2011. Striking coloration is offset by shyness and love of hiding!

A rare sighting of Ms. Butterface... Sorry for photo quality but she never comes out of hiding long enough to pose properly!



Nice body pattern, Butterface.

I just got one!.... I think, lol Cannot find it anywhere! Only when I turn off the lights and wait a while maybe I'll see it. Very cool fish.

Hahaha you're exactly right! I read somewhere that these are perfect for the hardcore catfish freaks who will sit at the tank for an hour in darkness for a glimpse of a fin!

Nice!! Such a beautiful fish. The black substrate really makes his colors pop too!

@sir_keith, lol I should have seen it coming.

Every time I say “cat” I need to be aware that its a trap...

I’m impressed with your collection! Where and how long ago did you score this jaguar?
