IDENTIFY THIS CATFISH

[Deep Blue Sea]

Hey I recently purchased this catfish from a friend but he didnt know the name and neither do I. Could someone possibly tell me what type it is.

Looks like a Ripsaw Catfish, but I'm no expert, I'm just learning!

Oxydoras niger - Ripsaw Catfish- Very gorgeous kittie What size home is he in?

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

He's in my 100 gallon but im saving up for a bigger tank for when he gets bigger. He's about 10-11 inches atm

It does look like a ripsaw - kind of hard to see though!
Either way, best of luck.

No problem.. at least you had a photo!
If you're not 100% just google "ripsaw catfish" and see if it looks like yours!
