Just seen this ~16" specimen advertised on Ebay and purely out of curiosity, wondered which Auchenoglanis it might be, please?

I think
Auchenoglanis acuticeps
would be the closest match with the available picture.

Cheers for that. :)

Lovely looking fish, just trying to picture a 16" catfish that should hopefully grow a little more and the minimum size tank it would need (approx. 80"x40"x40") is staggering!

Gorgeous is the right word IMO. I too can only go by the Cat-eLog pics, which we need much more of. I'd agree with Birger's verdict.
