Nice. Very rare in our hobby. Would you tell us how you ID'ed it, about growth rate, other info of interest, please? I remember seeing that video in the OP, now not available. Have you got it through a highly reputable vendor, like Pier Aquatics for instance?

I got him in jan 2013 and he was 18 inches. He was originally purchased from wildwoods from the previous owner from what i know its the fact it has a large second dorsal adipose fin that distinguish it from other similiar looking catfish? He feeds on everything really is very hardy and is mildly aggressive to certain other fish.
