Sailfin Pim (Leiarus pictus)

A large-growing, active, and beautifully marked catfish, The Sailfin Pim or Sailfin Marbled Catfish originates in parts of the Orinoco and the Peruvian Amazon. With their distinctive pattern, huge dorsal fin, and extremely long barbels, they are a beautiful and active fish in the aquarium. With an adult size of around 24″, however, they require a large aquarium or pond as an adult. Tankmates should be chosen with care as they will eat any fish small enough to fit in their huge mouths.
