Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendationson caring for this fish, any spawning accounts? I got some from an importer (here is his picture of them).

That is Anaspidoglanis macrostoma, and its general requirements are similar to most other giraffe cats (Anaspidoglanis and Auchenoglanis). Check the Cat-eLog listing here.
Does best in soft, acidic water with most other mid-sized community fishes. Will eat smaller fishes, and is not a fussy feeder.

PS. Did it come from Toyin Ojo of Rehoboth Aquatics?

Yes, he is still selling them as Parauchenoglanis gutattus, you can see some of the other cats he has at:

Yes, I know. Toyin always brings in the good stuff (including our holy grail, Euchilichthys, this time round).
Anyway, someone else on this forum has accidentally bred the fish. See here and here.
