hi
Eventually found the fish you are talking about. It appears to be a panaqolus/panaque, possibly L226http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... ies_id=761

$16.99 is a very good price IMHO.
Here's your pic, perhaps a few more members can give their opinion Image

Hard to tell from your pics but it may also be L206. Here's a pic Image

the link you added in your post didn't work because aquariacentral.com doesn't allow embedded links to other sites (i think). I had to register, log in and then search for your post and then i saved the pic and uploaded it to photobucket.com. I then added the img link to the above post

Its not L204 Mad Catter, as there are no stripes on the head, but it does look alike though.

and (L226) are very similar to each other, and both are from Peru.

may turn out to be young .

The way to tell the difference is that has a stripy tail, while has a spotty tail.


It would be good to have a picture of the tail.


If the fish was exported from Colombia there is a chance it could be .
