Hey guys. I couldn’t find the thread we were all on talking, but I got a “frogmouth” cat from divers den a while ago. Different ID from many diff people. Still have no idea, def not a giant BB they look way diff. I got a few updated pics. And the jag is kinda in the way sorry lol
He has decently long whiskers, and he has spots all over. Sometimes he gets stripes like my giant BB but it’s like a shiny gold color, not orange looking.

Yellowcat gotta see this. He should get excited over this. The overbite rules out Pseudopimelodus and Cephalosilurus genus IMHO, the closest look-alikes I think. Frogmouth makes me think of Chacas though. Congrats on the most original and laconic thread title. No time wasted there for sure
Looks to me to be Batrochoglanis Transmontanus. A couple of years ago Jeff Rapps (T.U.I.C.) got in a few from Colombia and he wasn't sure what they were hence called them Batroglanis sp. (2) as they were similar to what they seem to be close to what they show on PlanetCatfish in the Cat-e-Log. I did a bunch of research including all the scientific papers on the genus, after I had bought 5 from Jeff. I surmised that they must be b. transmontanus as they are one of few if only batrochoglanis species to come from Columbia. The one's I got were 2" juveniles and one was slightly larger than the rest. 2 small one's went in one tank and were lost to ick a few weeks later. The remaining 3 were kept together with some similar size parauchenoglanis guttatus in my 60G tank. After a few months, the larger b. transmontanus killed the smaller two leaving me the remaining one which had grown to around 5" A month or two on, the last one died as it tried to eat one of the 3" p. guttatus that became stuck in it's mouth and choked to death. This is the only decent pic I have other than the 2" ones in the original acclimation bucket...
and I’ve talked to a few on here but never found out a for sure ID
