Ompok Catfish (ompok bimaculatus), looking for one!!

[duhdoug]

Does anyone know where I could find an ompok catfish in the us? Preferably a bimaculatus but any variety is appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like they do, $25 for 5" fish

It'd be something new to me if bimaculatus became available in the US. It has only been siluroides for decades, it seems.

That seems to be what I am finding as well. I emailed aquascape online and he said he has an ompok bleekeri? Never heard of such a thing

I haven't either. If I had to guess, it's a mix up.

I forgot that O. pabda is sometimes available.

I believe it is a mix up, may just have to pick it up! I also wanted to say thanks to all of you for the help. This is my first thread on here and I really appreciate it.

Welcome to the MFK!

You too could ask the vendor for good photos and if in doubt yourself, post them here and/or on Planet Catfish for an ID attempt.
