Catfish ID?

[OohFeeshy]

I went to get some plants yesterday, and the lfs had some catfish. I mean, they had two banjos (never seen them before, although they weren't labelled), gibbecs (sp?), and lots of other nice ones I can't remember the name of. However, they also had one catfish labelled as a 'false giraffe catfish'. They had the size on the label so I know its too big for my tank, but when I got home I googled it and couldn't find anything on it. Was it mislabeled or am I not looking hard enough?

What size did the label say? There are giraffe catfish (36") and also dwarf girafe catfish (8"). Do either of those sizes sound right? Its possible the latter was labelled 'false' instead of dwarf for some reason. theres pics of both over at planetcatfish.com

Its OK, I asked CFC. He's got two. Get too big for me, they grow to about 8 inches. But they are semi-rare
