will straighten you out. Never had this beautiful genus. Rings a bell for me but I'd have to look through PCF pictures etc. IIRC, Kirk aka yellowcat, reported there was a mixup with ID at some point.
I would live to hear the back story from where you started to where you are now in the hobby. Your posts, knowledge, and tanks are an inspiration bro.

Yeah, may still be a hybrid dude, not sure at all. I love my cats man, I had the project wyckii going a few years back!-)
Here is a quick fts snap of the 300 atm, will share some cat pics over the next few days.

Since I've kept a few species of dwarf giraffe cats (to 18"), the fish in the video is parauchenoglanis punctatus and it's a male fish. I've had both male and female of the species, the males long and thin, the females have a bit thicker, more robust body shape.
Photo's of my past p. punctatus…
Male above, female below
Since I'm sharing, coincidentally my latest acquisition is a pair of these..
I should mention that notoglanidium macrostoma don't get very large, under a foot it seems. Some parauchenoglanis such as p. punctatus and p ngamensis grow to 18" or so whereas p. guttatus stay quite small. Too bad that so many parauchenoglanis species are so rare or impossible to find in the hobby...

Where I am now, you know, I think. Trying to open a small Public Aquarium and Fish Rescue as a business. Per my signature links.
I am a light-weight fish keeper with noteworthy experience of less than a decade.
Lots of photos in the links (lazy!!):
