Its a synodontis nigrita. Aka lace catfish. Ill be honest, it was bought for two reason. I got it from Meijer, not the place I would normally get fish, but I knew it would be hardy enough. The first reason is I needed a fish I wouldn't feel bad if Iost if I did something really wrong in building the tank. The tiles and the stones were big unknowns and losing a 6 dollar fish would hurt, but not as much as 100 dollars worth of rainbow fish. Further. This guy is a lot more hardy, and would better survive adverse conditions that would likely quickly kill something like the rainbow or the pair of Herotilapia I plan on getting. If things got bad, I could quickly get the cat out and into my 20g tank and fix my big tank. Good news, it's been in there since Sunday and is a happy fish.
The second reason is because I wanted an excuse to get another big tank. This fish will likely need to be moved by next summer as he will out grow and likely start fighting the 2 pair of cichlids I want to get. Since lace cats can get up to 8 inches... I think that calls for a 200 gallon tall tank... and if we gotta get that tank than we might as well get some sevrum and discus.

Anywho, Kat is going to be a fine finned friend. While a bit on the shy side right now its definitely on the energetic side and when it thinks no one is looking likes to scoot around the tank.

Btw: yep, it is upside down. These smaller synodontis cats have a tendency to hangout upside down even when swimming around the tank.

This must be a thing now. 1st of the month, everyone active in this thread should post updates of their kits, good boys, fishes or other biological non-human companions.

I’m totally onboard with this. I mean most of us are already doing this already - at least I know I am.
 
A fall-ish day after the rains of Hurricane Sally finally receded. I opened up my trailer (still not back in the house after Michael, nearly two years ago...) with a nice breeze airing it out.

1000% yes for me.
I didn’t have my first cat until I was 25.
I was a couple years out of the ARMY and I was struggling. I rescued Domino out of a sweltering hot car. She wouldn’t have lasted another hour or so.
I was absolutely fascinated by her as she grew strong and healthy. I opted to get out of my funk and learn everything I possibly can about cats.
That was 25 years ago. I’ve been a veterinarian technician for almost 20 years working in a cat only hospital.
All because of Domino. Love and miss you girl.

I love animals in general, but don't think I'll be getting a dog anytime soon. While I have had cats all my life since childhood, my mom was a certified dog breeder and it became extremely annoying at one point in my life. I love my friends dogs though, mainly because I don't have to take care of them. :lol:
