Catfish ID: European sheet catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Silurus glanis, spelled sheatfish or wels catfish...since that fish is from Europe. Kinda looks like a Wallago leerii as well (not from Europe), but they both look similar, imo.
 
I thought wallago as well...don't always get the best info at this place. The european part confused me

sheatfish (plural sheatfishes or sheatfish)


Any of several large, freshwater catfish, of the genus Silurus, found in the Danube and other Eastern European rivers.
 
Looks like a Wallago to me, could possibly be a Wels but I'm thinking Wallago.

the store was trying to sell it as a wels...European sheatfish...that's why it was mentioned. But they are similar...not like comparing a wallago to a RTC or TSN. That would be WAY off IMO.
