Now in Asia, I've seen a type of walking catfish(a species of clarias). Such as albio walking catfish or panda walking catfish(the black and white ones) which are probably the most common clarias anyone could find in the hobby. Although IDK what exact clarias species are them. So I'd appreciate if you guys can tell me what clarias they are.

Clarias batrachus

Try planetcatfish.com for any info you need although these guys are one of the easiest catfish to keep regarding living conditions. Circa 18” generally and you can easily sex them too.
 
They are raised for food in Asia, Africa, and other places, and we get the farm culls in the ornamental fish trade I believe.
