This is the best description of my catfish. I am hoping someone can help me out.

He looks like a shark with longggg whiskers.
He's VERY active
He ate my other fish
He is silver and black with little random black circles. White belly.
Very fast
He is very sleek looking.

Thanks so much. I sure hope I get an idea. I've exhausted my search.

Nope. That's not it. It doesn't have that many spots. It's much larger too. Thank you SO much for replying. Any more ideas?

OK, I'll try again. ?

Definately not that kind of nose!!! hehe
Forget the spots I guess. It only has about 5 black circles. He has a wide mouth that is partly open?? Sorry! I just can't figure out how to put the picture on here.

YIKES! Not him. If I had something like that in my tank I'd be petrified!!!

I'm actually getting ready to get a pic posted. But they are not good ones. If needed, I'll go snap another picture of him but he just won't stay still long enough to pose.

Ah. A channel catfish ().

WOW! Is that him? Thank you so much. You're Awesome!!

He came from our local pet store. Is he supposed to be kept as a pet? What are the best foods for him? He was so tiny when I first got him I couldn't even see him. He's grown alot. You are so smart.

P.S...Is it he who is killing my other fish? The smaller ones mysteriously kept dying.

I think you should read this. Channel cats are not really suitable for a tank, being more of a pond fish (because of the size they grow to).
