I currently have two catfish, but i don't know what they are. They have a silverish underbelly and a darker spotted top. They're both kinda floating (literally) around, they don't float to the top though, it's weird. One of them has a very puffed out underside just behind it's gills. Any ideas to any part of this? (i.d., symptoms, etc.)
~thanks~

The description doesn't help much. Any way you can post a picture?
I'm taking a long shot here, but is this it?

I guess the only thing left to do is to run through the Cat-eLog, then.
