Looks like a gulper cat. Where is this fish store and how much were they asking??

Thanks guys! Sorry i dont have better pics these are camera phone shots. i can see why they are called gulper cats. the store is here in japan http://www.pdnettaigyo.co.jp/ they had 4 or 5 of these guys each at about a foor or so and super thick. the price ranged from 35,000-50,000yen roughly 330 to almost 500 U.S.

Correct me if Im wrong but that price actually seems equal if not a bit less then the price of these guys in the U.S.

Yea, that's about the going rate.

Yup, Asterophysus batrachus, aka "gulper catfish."
