Channel or Colombian it's not worth much. It looks like a channel as I used to have a albino channel cat and a large pair of Colombian's. Colombians are always swimming!!

and again, are you 5?
BTW, the anal fin will tell it is a channel cat or not!
It merely didn't appear that the last two contributors read the whole thread but only the beginning... yet, I have been wrong before. I simply wanted to point out there was another proposal and to make sure what their thoughts were on the ID I had proposed. If it's a no, that'd be fine too but it's good to know. Do you see anything wrong with that?

Channel is definitely ruled out. The Anal fin says Columbian shark. Most Columbians are always swimming unless of course they're stressed which he probably is due to the lack of salt in the water.
how can you say the anal fin is columbian shark when none of the pics really show the anal fin? the pelvic fin might look a bit more like columbian shark!
and the normal behavior of small channel cat is trying to hide or being lazy most of the time during the day and become more active at night!
