No. It is Hemisorubim platyrhynchos -- http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=755 -- , like here (see the links too) http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...eed-cat-ID-assistance&highlight=platyrhynchos
Thanks TBTB, really cool looking cat, I would be tempted to get 1 but I don't think it would work with my Wyckii

Ha! Few things will work with a sub-adult and adult wyckii in a home aquarium and even those, sooner or later will get whooped.
It is a cool cat! I have been tempted for years to get one but they are rare and I've never come across one. There are about 6-7 occurrences on my memory that I saw someone report seeing one or actually getting one.
Once, before I knew better, I bought a pair of "them" that turned out to be Platysilurus mucosus, which never grew beyond ~8" (and do not have the protruding lower jaw but otherwise look much like miniature platyrhynchos to my untrained eye).

Yea :/ some people say they are ok in the right sized tank but I know anything I put in there is potentially bait lol
I have never seen 1! And the smaller species sound cool, I'm surprised they're not more popular with an 8" max size and the look of a larg predatory cat, if I could get some I'm sure I could sell a lot of them here in the uk lol
