ID on strange catfish

[kody929]

Im sorry everyone I hate to post such an simple answer research could answer. I seen this catfish at a LFS andnthey didn't even know what it is. They were asking 30$ for it and I though it looked unique. If anyone can tell what it is that'd be awesome.

It's this guy http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=955 Pseudopimelodus bufonius aka Giant Bumblebee catfish. $30 is a fair price, esp. if it is not a fingerling.
