That thing looks like a sturgeon! What's the scientific name?

No idea what the scientific name of it is. All i know is its rare. Its a catfish and it is a little known species! Everything I look for in a fish :) it does look like a sturgeon :) the largest I have heard is 18 inches but it seems to be a relative of the ripsaw cat so I feel it will be a real monster!

That gave me what I needed. Apparently it isn't even described yet. Apparently its being called "Leptodoras cf. cataniai rio_nanay". The one on PCF looks just like yours.

So how pricey was it? And does it subsist on wood?
