April 2005: Only one fish of the albino form of the well-known „Titanic Catfish“ was imported from Belem (Brazil). L 273 is normally extremely variably coloured from fish to fish. As well as splendid specimens with contrasting dark grey/yellow plus orange colouration there are also individuals that are predominantly mouse grey with black dots and have only orange fin tips. This unique deep yellow specimen is a new variety. We can only hope that in future this albino variety can be offered in larger quantities. L 273 grows to more than 30 cm long and need therefore large fish tanks. This species is very territorial and will defend its living space against other fish of the same species. Against other aquarium inhabitants this catfish is peaceful.(Text: I. den Daas, Photo: E.Schraml)
