I've had him about 10 years. He was labeled as a pictus at the lfs but never had black spots and looks different than pictus to me. He originally had gray giraffe like spots but as he aged they changed. He's about a foot long.

He was living with an 8-10" electric blue cichlid for the last 10ish years but his buddy died last week. They would both team up on anything else in the tank, including snails. I had to keep them in a 55g alone bc anything else I put in there would literally disappear, except the snail, I found his empty shell floating in the tank the next day. I guess what I'm saying is, he's super aggressive for a catfish.

Any ideas?

Yep, I have two. My 16 year old one is at least a foot and the five year old is about 8".
