Good eye. I think you have seen this but here is the whole gang being shuffled around the ponds/tanks: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36786&hilit=+opportunity

It's at Elmer's, an aquarium store in Monroeville. It's labeled as a grass cat and I knew it wasn't that. 18 dollars.

Your lfs probably brought it in as an african grass cutter (schilbe intermedius)

It does look like that. I thought it was a debauwi cat at first but it isn't. There are quite a few fish that have that body shape other than the ompok species.

ompok bimaculatus i am purchasing one from the lfs store here for 3bucks.

 

[boosteshemi]

the common name is 2 spot glass catfish

 

[cgibby]

at $3 i'm fairly certain it wont be a bimaculatus would you mind posting a few pictures?

 

[thebiggerthebetter]

AFAIK, bimaculatus (from South India) does not enter the trade. If it is an ompok, likely it is siluroides.
