Pimelodella Catfish (Pimelodella sp.) - 2-3" Unsexed. Remarks: The Pimelodella genus is one that is rarely seen in the hobby which is unfortunate as they are very fascinating to observe when active. They bear a heavy resemblance both in appearance and behavior to their more common relatives, the pictus catfish, which belong to the Pimelodus genus. A trait commonly used to differentiate between the two genera is the shape and size of the adipose fin. In Pimelodus this fin is short in length, tall, and triangular while in Pimelodella this fin is long, short in height, and rounded. Pimelodella catfish have elongated and streamlined bodies clearly built for speed that shows when they zip about the tanks when being fed or after the lights have gone out. Their long whiskers give them an elegant look as well. Members of this genus look heavily simil. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
