Archara catfish?

I saw what looks to be a predatory cat at a lfs. It looks very much like a Marmoratus cat, or perruno, however it is much lighter in color and almost off white and brown. It was labelled as a Arhara.

Any ideas?

I have had a mamoratus before and this definatley is not like the one I had. Even at a small size.

This is just a wild guess, but Archara is a place in Russia, so maybe ?

Actually, achara catfish is a name often used for Leiarius species.

It's also (according to my Google search) a form of sweet pickled papaya.
