Good morning everyone

Got given a catfish by my local store, they were given it to rehome. They don't know what it is.

I know that the photo is not great.

Thanks

Agree with Jools. Most definitely a blochii if it has a black / dark spot in front / base of the dorsal fin.

I don't think it blochii Fish. It's from any unique group.

Unless anyone else has any thoughts, I'm going to stick with the concensus that my catfish is a blochii.

The second pic removes any doubt. It's a blochii.

Spam it is, Jools. You got a ton of patience :)
