I dont have a cam but i can tell you what it looks like. They have white bellys and as you start to move up the side it terns gray and as you move up more it start to tern black, thats why they call it a tricolor catfish, mine is about 2" long but I think they can get to like a foot. Thats all i know sry, I hope you guys know more about it then i do lol

Lots of catfish have a color pattern like that. It might be a little more helpful if you could describe its shape. Maybe relative to say, a bullhead. Does it have spines/bony plates on the sides of the body? Thangs like that...
