I currently have a 15cm Upside down catfish but i cant seem to find out what type he is. Hes PURE black with a lighter grey/black top half with dark black spots.

Is he a Hybrid???

I've got two of those in my tank. I reckon they're Eupterus as well. Great dorsal on that one though...hence the common name, Featherfin squeaker.
Although I have no idea about the squeakin bit...!
 
hahaha yer i kno hes a beuty ^^

Raised him from little lol. How long does it take to get em to a decent size???


Oh and thnx for helping me find the name of my dude cause i kno the others witch are brown and stuff but yer couldnt find out hes breed lol :)
 
The two I have are around the 4-5" mark, maybe a little bigger, but their dorsals aren't as long as yours 'cos they keep scrappin'!
They tend to change from pale brown to almost black, depending on the light conditions and their mood. Seems to be the more relaxed they are, the darker they get...
Does yours like to hang out upside down a lot when he's resting under rocks and driftwood..?
My ones do, hence why they get confused with true upside down catfish. They are often sold as such at lfs.
