Yeah I think it is pterodoras granulosus or if not its very closly related. Thanks everyone for their help. According to Planet Catfish is gets to 38.6". I got it sold for my 40 UK Gallon tank at about 3" and now it is 6-7" in just a couple of months so I need to sell it soon. My LFS said they didn't think it grew that big.

Definitely granulosis,ive seen them at 30",we have two but for some reason they have only grown to 10" and 12" in the last 18 months,supplier got them in as mixed catfish in a clearance and couldnt i.d. them so I dont know how long they had them in for.
