Striped Raphael catfish. Corvus isn't the only one that knows fish ID! :P

They blow up & make loud clicking sounds.

Lets stop this rumor befor it goes any further.Rapael cats do not puff up.She is just fat(she looks like she ate a tennis ball).She's had this shape 24/7 for the last 15 years.She just looks puffer like. Image
