Have you tried speaking to wharf aquatics? Richard there is a catfish specialist and they are normally quite good at rare fish/ first time uk imports

Thanks for the fast reply I had seen that on there and I am very tempted but my new tank isn't built yet and i think at that size it would eat 90% if my other fish if they was to share a tank :/ hard to know what to do..

agree with wharf richsrd is ok on cats also try wildwoods there good at getting requested cats and its nice to start with a juvenile and grow it yourself

Try wharf then mate they have a good catfish and oddball stock and very knowledgable staff
They've found me everything I've asked for in the past
Best fish shop in the uk in my opinion
I waste way too much money there lol
