I don't think it's that, from what I see on PlanetCatfish. Picture available at http://www.feathersite.com/zz/Catfish/S ... tatus.JPEG

Indeed, it's not what it's sold for.
Imo it's . What's wrong with its eye?

I wondered if possibly eupterus, but it doesn't look quite like
the young ones I've had before. Eye is fine, fold in bag it was in is over it. Very hard fish to photograph. Didn't want to cooperate.[/quote]

Nice heavy build, should be a big un.
A word of caution, S.euterus should not be transported in bags....!!
They can pierce the bag with no problem, I use tubs for mine. :D
