"Silver Silk Catfish"?

Post by grandweapon »

Hi, I'm really new to the world of aquariums, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I saw this catfish at a LFS which was listed as a "Silver Silk Catfish", but I can't find any information online using that name. Would appreciate a proper ID please.

I'm terribly sorry that this was the only photo I took as I didn't expect to not be able to find any information using the listed name.

Thank you.

Not a catfish, Polynemus sp.
Balaji

Major: Now what's this... stone, stone, stone, (looks down at his hand) and scissors. Now. Scissors cut everything, don't they?
Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

Thanks! Must have been mislabelled I guess.

Paradise threadfin, I'd think. Not a catfish, as stated.
