So my wife and I (over a year ago) purchased a catfish that was in the same tank as a bunch of picture catfish. We bought it as a picture, knowing that likely wasn’t what it was. At the time it was about 1/2 and inch and in a 10g aquarium. Now it’s in a 125g aquarium and is picking up growing. Problem is: I still have no idea what type of catfish it is and don’t know what to expect. Likely a hybrid of some kind, but I could use some help. Right now it’s about 4 inches long.

Looks like a Brown bullhead catfish.

Southern variant of brown bullhead.

Expect it to potentially eat anything that fits in its mouth, including pictus catfish.
