Well after some more research and the correct scientific name of Parauchenoglanis ngamensis.... id say its between P. punctatus and P. ngamensis... so close to even call lol...

Nice job, Wednesday!

IIRC Yellowcat grew a couple of Parauchenoglanis to 1.5'.

You all are awesome! These are still actually fairly small in the grow out tank. I just enjoy seeing some of the less common cats.

I would have responded sooner but was away on a two week fishing trip. I would say the species is most likely parauchenoglanis punctatus, the shots from PlanetCatfish, day/night patterns are of my former fish...
