It's a captive bred piebald clarius batrachus, AKA "walking Catfish" You can have them there in Canada, banned in the USA...

Thanks guys! There's one for sale up here, the thing looks AWESOME but the seller has it listed as a Marble Catfish (which it obviously isn't).

So jealous that you can buy these pied walking catfish legally.

If it hadn't been sold already I'd be all over it, they look so cool.

For a mid-sized Catfish, they have monster appetites. I sold my old one at 12" a few years back and I missed him so I picked up a little 3" a couple of weeks ago.
