My Brother's new catfish

[Mike C]

My brother purchases fish and supplies from the same store pretty regularly. He saw a fish in one of their tanks that hadn't been labelled so he asked what it was. No one at the store that day was able to identify it, (they said it may have been mixed in with other fish) so they asked him if he wanted it for a few bucks. Now he doesn't know what it is, so he asked me if I could figure it out for him. Attached are two photos, one taken with a flash, one without. Right now it is about 2 to 2.5 inches long.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, and I have to admit I am always amazed at how quickly (and accurately) answers appear on this forum.

Yep, that's the store. It seems like most of the Mom & Pop Stores have been run out of business in this area by the chain stores. That is the only store within driving distance that seems to have anything different that Walmart or the chain stores.

I know it is a great store. They have avery good selection and for the most part everyone is friendly.
