Got this catfish from lfs labeled as talking catfish aka amblydoras nauticus. But to me this fish looks very granulated catfish like. Any help confirming Id greatly appreciated.

It does look well indeed to be a pterodoras granulosus. I think myself it is one, too. They are a nice catfish.
Haha, that's ironic. Thanks, bud. Yet small Doradidae have been largely outside of the scope of my attention.
To my quick glance, the ID looks correct - https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=1059 - these are quite common.
It may look close to baby granulosus in body and fin shape https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=524 but the coloration in the bag cannot be used. The fish needs to be calm and in a tank.
Really hope so myself because if so the batch is 7 dollars a piece I will definitely go back for more.
Settled pics this morning. To me this fish looks very similar to baby granulated catfish pics online.

Yes so far he's a pig in the making. Eating any and everything in such a short time of owning.
Yeah, that's no Amblydoras. I agree with the Pterodoras granulosus ID.
