Hello, I need an ID on this catfish. I bought it as a bumble bee catfish (because I knew it wasn't). If anyone can ID this for me, I would greatly appreciate it. It almost looks like it has no eyes, if it does then they are tiny but it has no problem finding food.

It is usually hard to confuse Horabagrus brachysoma with any other fish. The only one looking close is Horabagrus nigricollaris, which your fish does not look like. See for yourself: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=39

Absence of eyes is weird but may be attributable to a genetic mutation or an eye decease at an very early age, or vicious eye-picking tankmates, like some cichlids are, etc.
