Not quite sure mate its scientific name is trachycorystes trachycorystes , or black driftwood cat , ironhead is also mentioned on planet cat
Its mouth is beastly though he's the main reason my I haven't put my baby jardini in main tank yet , defo swallow it whole it swallows king prawns shell on whole and its had a decent sized dead goldfish in past

Pretty cool in't he I found him in a LFS labeled up as a bullnose but I always thought it was a hybrid until I posted him on the old faithful mfk and someone id'd him for me the scientific name is Chrysichthys*nigrodigitatus on planet catfish , he's about 12/13" and don't take no crap forever fights with my male jag lip locking it gets intense sometimes

Wish i could get a jaguar cat too hehe heck, its even easier to get gulpers here than jags. Btw, i read in planet catfish that my bumblebee jelly cat grows only to 7.9 yet ive read somewhere that theirs grew to a foot at most. Whats the growth rate on these guys anyway? I plan on comming the fella with my gulper soon.
