cant find this online

Post by lejordan77 »

Could anyone tell me what kind of catfish this is? i have been looking online for a while now and its driving me crazy! I bought it a couple of months ago and it was about 4-5" long and now id say its roughly 7" now. its growing fast and eating everything ive put in with him (guppies, swordtails, small mollies, large mollies, loach and feeder goldfish!)

- perhaps? Certainly it's an Ictaluriid.

I don't think it's a spotted bullhead (A. serracanthus), and I am more inclined to think it is an attractively-patterned brown bullhead ().
