      Wow- gorgeous little kids.  
      If you don't mind me asking, what kind of catfish is that? It's beautiful. Excellent name by the way.

        Nice pics, Loretta. I can't get any good pics of my cherry shrimp or yellow shrimp with my little camera. I like that black substrate.

Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

          I'm thinking about setting up a shrimp tank, just can't seem to get started on it.  That's a really nice group of shrimp, they look happy and well fed.

              Here is my guess: Synodontis decorus

              Anybody else wanna take a stab at it before we find out?

              Nice shrimp BTW

                Is it a Synodontis nummifer  ??

                    Here is the problem with the Synodontis decorus answer.. the face is 100% wrong...

                    Look at planetcatfish and look at a Synodontis nummifer and its the only one that looks correct for face and body....also note the tail fin for a decorus is incorrect too..

                    This is why I jumped at mummifer

                      8O Indeed.

                      To justify myself: I wasn't looking at anything. It reminded me of a baby decorus that I had seen a while back. Perhaps I don't have picture perfect memory after all.  I had never even heard of the species that you alluded to. Interesting... I wonder where it came from.

                        I looked all over the web and I think Zulaab is right.
                        I wonder if any lfs carry it.  :think:
