Catfish Id ~ Found~ Need Diagnosis Help

[Snooks1!]

My mum bought this fish... I don't know what it is. Store told her that he was full grown and won't get any bigger. I highly doubt that.

He has these raised bumps on him...I don't know if it's some sort of infection, or what the hell it is. Does anyone know what they are?

that to me looks more like a goby or pl*co

 

[Snooks1!]

Definitely not a plec.

 

[3ndl3r]

possibly a wild caught that was caught with other fish. go back to the lfs and ask what it is.

 

[Snooks1!]

The shop she bought it from is 100 miles away...

I'm not driving that far just to ask what it is...

 

[Esfa]

Woooo banana plant.

I have no idea *google*

does it look like that?

 

[Snooks1!]

Kinda' sorta..Not really

His finnage isn't that big... IT could be that he's just beat up too, because his whiskers are nipped up quite a bit.

 

[Esfa]

well i hope it's not that.

I would guess that his dorsal fin is missing,

 

[Esfa]

Im pretty sure it's a Plotosus sp.

 

[Snooks1!]

I would guess that his dorsal fin is missing,

No guessing needed for that...



More pictures, if it is Plotosus sp then what are the bumps all over him?

I have absolutely no idea. Could it be some sort of skin disease?

CFC will probably know what he is.

 

[Snooks1!]

Hopefully, heh.

Just gotta wait for him to get on now...

It would be helpful if you can get a picture of its tail & dorsal and anal fin. Without this it would be impossible to even ID the family of the catfish.
