Help Me Id This Catfish.

[darkchildreborn]

Hey the LFS called this a Driftwood Catfish. Any idea on its real ID? Planet Catfish didnt have any info on "driftwood catfish" so help me out guys.

it actually is indeed a driftwood catfish... well one of them...

what seems strange to me is that I find a whole family of driftwood cats on planet catfish

Looks to me a bit like the Trachelyopterus fisheri

Possibly, a lot of woodcats look similar to that (ie, like a bit of dead tree). Galeatus also looks similar, although the 'slimness' is different... Could just be a food issue though.

I love woodcats! They grow really quick, so be prepared!
