Second catfish species caught in Panama

Post by SanDiegoFishes »

My friend caught this bad boy with a cast net, in a different stream and different part of Panama. It was the only one caught, so we let it go.
Wonder what it was? Anyone??

I currently have 25+ tanks, ranging in size from 10 gallons to 240 gallons. Also, 6 above ground ponds outside. Raise many species of fish, including corydoras, farlowella's, L number plecos, bushynoses, etc. Catfish RULE!!

He was a cutie, whatever he was. I was hoping to find smaller ones so I could bring home a couple bagfuls, but we never caught another one :(
