kampago monster catfish?

[justarn]

hey all, a few weeks ago i was browsing youtube and came across a video of a pair off 4ft plus kampango catfish looking after their young like cichlids do it was amazing! at the time i planned on linking the video and sharing but for the life of me i cant find it... ive had enough and give up literally 2 hours of trying to find it uuurgh!

very surprised to not find a single thread here!?

they are awesome looking aswell, they live in the rivers of africa and lake malawi but look very much like a silvery wyckii... but get to 5 ft! i have a new dream catfish people!-) as some of you may already know ive gone a bit catfish crazy lately, its weird as i was a cichlid man through and through but ive got the bug now!-)

can anyone find this video?????

Might you be missing because you misspelled the name? It is Kampango Catfish.

Anyhoo, it is very rarely available and kept.

Here are the only three instances I came across it for sale:

One of the best articles I've read happens to be on this catfish:
