Platystomatichthys sturio

This catfish is from the Rio Branco - Brazil can grow up to 14", its upturned nose allows it to feed more easily from the substrate.

Needless to say these fish are just not very available we have been lucky enough to obtain them via our exporter

nah, that's a Tig that swam into the side of the tank too quickly ;)

Joking aside, lovely fish
