Hemibagrus wyckii or Hemibagrus wyckiodes?

Okay very first post to the forums, but have used the site for quite some time now. I bought this catfish at the store and he was labeled as an Asian Redtail Catfish. Now let me first say this store has mislabeled things in the past so I can't really trust in the labels that much. The catfish I have in my aquarium completely resembles a Hemibagrus wyckii(black devil cat) and I mean COMPLETELY, except his whiskers are white. Bright white. He is completely pitch black except whiskers. He has the same body shape and everything. The picture isn't mine, but looks exactly like my catfish if it were that big. The one I have now is around 3 inches maybe 2.5 inches.

You'll have to provide a photograph of your fish, as young H. wyckioides:

(1) bear a passing resemblance to H. wyckii and

(2) have very pale barbels and sometimes very dark bodies.

We'd need a picture of yours to tell for sure. Asian rtc normally have a more "pudgy" profile while wyckiis are more streamline.
