I got this catfish at a place called "Petlover's Outlet" I have been feedin him sinking carnivore pellets and goldfish pellets. He is growing fine and went from 3 1/2 inches to 4 inches. It is generally silver with some black spots and has a quite small mouth.

Heres a vid:

wow he is a nice looking active cat.. pretty actually..i will have to think about him..does he look like this to you..because my synodontis looked liked this as a juvenile and now he looks like this..if it is then he is rare.
 
Not a syno, notice the size of the adipose fin compared to the pics you have there? Channel cat, come spring I sell tons of them at work...The channels cat's species name I. punctatus means "spotted", although they lose the spots as they grow.
