Saw this sweet catfish for $100 at a LFS in Eugene. Wish I could have taken him home!
 
Forgot these pix!

Good deal!
 
Thats expensive, $100. Here in the UK their cheap as chips, I sold a 17" one for £30 the other day but alot are free when they get too big.

The pic above is a very unusual one, most are very dark in colour and more so when big. But it all depends on where in africa they were caught as soo many sub species. Great cats which get very tame and can be kept with small fish.
 
It is a really cool fish (never seen one before) but the price was too high for me (MUCH too high for my wife).
