Hi,
I was going through some files at a swedish aquarium forum when I ran across the picture on the following page

http://www.zoopet.com/akvarium/fisk.asp?NR=770

I thought it looked like a zamora catfish but the latin name would be wrong for it to be the zamora. Have they made a mistake when posting the picture or should I go get new glasses?

No, they are right. <i>Auchenipterichthys longimanus</i> looks like a zamora cat, except for the presence of distinct black spots on the sides of the body.
