Anyone heard of one of these? My lfs has a catfish labeled as sand paper catfish. I have never heard of one and can't seem to find info on them, I do not have a picture right now but will try and get one tomorrow to help ID. It's a darkish color and scales look like armour and it also has a pretty wide mouth on it. I'm sure it's not what they say but like I said I'll get pictures tomorrow, poor fish has been with them almost a year and hasn't grown much!
 
Never heard of a sand paper cat, but I always thought chaca chaca's looked like sandpaper, and they do have very wide mouths...
 
Possibly, has the same style mouth for sure! Only odd thing is that they had a chaca chaca catfish a while back, but hopefully the pics I get tomorrow will tell all! :)
 
sounds like either a chaca or possibley a pterdosus granulosus(spelling?)
 
My pterodoras granulosus was labeled as a 'sandpaper cat' at my lfs. It's surprising that it hasn't grown much though as they eventually grow really large...
