Saw this Catfish today and broke the rules and bought it without doing any research.
Can anyone tell me what it is ?
Sorry for the quality, it only slows down when under shelter !

dosen't look much like a pictus pimelodus, because it dosen't have the spots, but i may not be able to see the spots cause the fish is moving fast so the photo blurred.

Pimelodus pictus- is this it?
 
I would say it was pim. pictus. some have very faint spots and they are one of the most popular cats in the uk. although it could be a pearl cat, I would say it's more likly to be a pictus cat.
 
Yes that's it. :kana:

Thanks for your help folks. Looks like I'd better go back and get him some companions. Stunning fish to complete the collection.
 
Does it have a horizontal black stripe down the length of its body?

Looks more like a pimalodella gracillis than a pimalodus pictus from what i can make out.
They can be kept singularly or in a group of at least 3, pairs will fight and the weaker fish may be killed.
 
Slightly clearer picture. This guy never stops moving !
