Thanks Karl K for the link, looks like the very same unknown species! For some reason some amazing rare species such as this one end up in Singapore and Japan that are never seen here in the U.S.A. Also some of the rarest African catfish seem to find their way to European countries and less so here..
Came across this can anyone ID?

Would there be any way, to buy these sort of fish, and what would you guess the price is
? I'm in Denmark, so maybe i'll have a chance.
May i also ask what catfish is in the picture "Heres what happends when you put a pseudopimelodus in with a fowleri"? It was on another picture too "It healed up good tho" Or something like that
?To find rare fish sometimes it requires contacting direct importer/wholesalers that specialize in importing from certain countries/regions and getting your local store to buy from them as they usually won't sell to hobbyists. You can also ask your local stores to request certain species from their sources as well. Sometimes it requires just going to every store in your area on the chance you might spot something odd that nobody else has seen or cares about and get very lucky, it happens! Prices can be cheap if they don't know the rarity or little demand or very high if they do..
Ok, may i ask what pseudopimelodus was in the "Heres what happends if you put pseudopimelodus in with a c.fowleri" And the "Same fish survived nicely" I really like that fish, and would love to know what species he is
!It is a species of pseudopimelodus, still unidentified, had it for around 9 or 10 years. Someone at Planet Catfish suggested it might be a pseudopimelodus pulcher but no photo's exist of an adult of that species so who knows? It did come from Peru and is 11" long, fully grown of course. The closest thing to it might be pseudopimelodus bufonis, have 2 of those, but they're rather common, don't grow as large and color/markings are way different. I've never seen another like it anywhere...
Well, thanks for the help. These guys are very mysterious, it seems some of them aren't named, do you have any info on the villosus?
