Baby apurensis or not?

Likely apeurensis as Fowleri isn’t readily seen. The way to tell is looking at their bellies and there’s also a size difference when large. That’s an old mfk pic from an old member by the way, if I remember right.
Yes. But still a cool oddball catfish with a large mouth and appetite. Best kept solo once bigger.
Yeah, I kept an apurensis to about 12", awesome but not community friendly. Mine ate a few fish 50% it's size and got sold. Sometimes I wish I had a triple stack of 180g instead of my 300g, so I could have a couple of wet pet monsters... Apure, fahaka ect.
I didn't expect the above fish to be fowleri bit as I've never seen a small apurensis I wasn't sure on it being a jelly cat at all tbh. Cheers anyway mate.

So you think this a baby apure too?

Don’t look like cephalosilurus. Kind of looks like something from the batrochoglanue family.

Nice find. Looks like one of the obscure Batrochoglanis (agree with Ron) that
Yellowcat
used to keep or maybe keeps now.Kirk, this is about what Rocksor dug up, not the OP fish. I'll post a photo before it disappears. The sales page states the fish is 3.25". Perhaps you will want to get your fix?
Believe it or not, they called it C. fowleri or Peruvian Frogmouth Catfish! Haha... and they want $150 on sale ($180 normal).
