Searching for 'scissor catfish' brings up many many species and nothing under tatia in the Cat elog seemed to match.

I'm not sure where you are seeing tatia or scissor catfish in that. It looks like they labeled the pleco correctly.

Ack, that is what I get for not double checking the ad.

http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1305680409 is the real auction in question (several Aquabid windows open at once makes for easy mistakes).

I have just bought some of these from Pier Aquatics here in the UK, lovely looking catfish.

Pls don't use the word "products" when you refer to live fish. Thanks.
