The fish is definitely a c. apurensis, I recently sold one that grew to 20" and was still growing. I've seen 24" specimens and have read of 28" monsters. One of my all time fave's. I paid like $125 for mine @ 5". I tried to sell it for almost 3 months on this site and one other for $250 with no takers,(it was for PU only) finally had to almost give it away for $50 as it too outgrew it's tank. Since they have to be kept alone or with very large fish due to their agressive nature it's hard to find a home for them. Buy a 300g and keep it if you can!

thanks for all the info everybody! you guys are great!

Yeah they do get expensive, and at the size you have yours at it's going to be a lot more. But you don't always sell them with such a high price, because not very many are willing to pay such a high price.
Great looking Catfish though!!
