Identify this catfish!
I tried to find out what kind of catfish this is, but with no luck. I know one of you will know right off the top of your head. Thanks in advance!

you're welcome! Don't know much about them personally, but now that you know the name, a wealth of information is at your fingertips.

IME you will never see them. They will find somewhere in the tank to hide and disappear and will only come out at night. At one of the shops I worked at we had a hollow skull as the only decoration in the tank we had raphaels in, all eight would cram in there and not come out.

Yea, I haven't seen it since I put it in the tank. He's the only one in a 70 gallon, so I'm glad I took a picture before I put him in. I thought he was cool looking, that's why I wanted him in there. Oh well.

I have had one for quite a few years. The first time I saw his whole body in over a year was just a few days ago.
