Devil Catfish?

[Straydum]

I was at the shop today and they just brought in a bunch of catfishes that I have never seen before. There was one that was labelled Devil Catfish. It looks like a Raphael Catfish except smaller in gridth and alittle longer. It had 1 or 2 horizontal red stripes running from head to tail. They are around 3". I googled Devil Catfish and found out that it was nothing like whats in the shop. Anyone has any guesses?

Yeah, like Mike said it will be a Bagarius specie. The most common are Bagarius bagarius and Bagarius yarrelli. The latter being much bigger than the former, and there arent any ways to identify between the two, so it could be either...Other Bagarius species can be distinguished between but its not easy.

If you can find someone with a massive tank for one, then they could have some.
Otherwise, google it.
