Water Change on Leiarius pictus (Kraken) Aquarium

Was doing a water change and the Leiarius pictus catfish came out to say hello. Currently, this fish is about 14” from tip to tail. It’s an impressive fish to see out cruising. It’s barbells fling around like a Kraken.

Other tank mates include two wild caught Mouthbrooding severums (~6”), a Lima shovelnose (~8”), and a fat raphael catfish.
