    Hey!
    Recently i was looking at a Catfish available in a local pet store it measured about 20cm and there was smaller ones on sale of about 7cm
    these fish were brown with white spots and a short body but a tall dorsal fin i was curious if anyone could possibly direct me to some pictures to find out the name of the fish
    thanks!
