Hi everyone, i'm new to the site and would like some help identifying a catfish I have inherited with a new tank..by the way he's gotta be about 6-7 inches long

here are some pics:

If you need anymore pics or pics of specific parts of the fish I'll do my best to oblige.. any help you can offer would be great as I haven't had much joy in identifying this fella yet..

Hope to hear from you all soon..

Iain

cheers for the quick reply.. how certain are you about this ID as the pics don't look too much like him/her.. is there any other possibilities you can think of..

thanks again for the reply

Your fish is a very well-fed individual (most likely a her, I might add), which might explain any difference you see; I am completely sure of my identification otherwise.

Bulldog,

You should trust him on this. He described the fish for science!
