I find catfish fascinating. I keep reading stuff about them both here at CAC and elsewhere. So much to read, so much to learn about them. With so many similar ones I am just glad I don't have the task of identifying the various species. Especially after reading an article today:
The Diversity of Catfishes (http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/article_detail.asp?id=45)
It not only discusses how diverse catfish are but how "Among Corydoras many species are almost duplicates of each other, sharing almost identical colour patterns, body shapes, and habitats."
The also mention Pimelodellas "which look very like the species of Corydoras with which they share their habitats" known as 'false Corydoras'. Fascinating stuff!
