I don't usually do this, but this little guy looked so cool, I had to get him, lfs managers didn't know what he was, and wound up giving him to me for $5

Oh and if anyone figures out what it is, what is the care for it?
So far I just have it in a 10 with a lot of driftwood and rocks, already cycled the tank, no tankmates.

They're nocturnal fish, mate. They prefer a tank with plenty of driftwoods and rocks to camouflage around. Feed them at night rather than day. Maximum size is apparently 8 inches. Mine is 3 inches. Place it in a 20g minimum for awhile and move to 55g which can perfectly accommodate it.happymidgetpaul;2204292; said:
By the way, these fish are seldom available so congrats on the find.
Oh cool :] it already has a lot of driftwood and rocks to hide in, it's very small at the moment, but if it get's to around 8 inches i'll be putting it in my bigger tank after it gets bigger
What does it eat? Do you know the general price they go for?

Very cool looking fish. I was checking planet catfish and I think it is a Tatia intermedia. Check out this link,http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=370 I really don't know anything about it but was curious.
Look at the anal fin. The Trachelyopterus galeatus has an elongated one. His fish does not have one.

I looked at the species that you suggested and I do think that it looks closer to that, but can anyone confirm?
Hmmm...I think you hit the spot there, Fobrinkle. Thanks for clarifying this matter further.fobrinkle;2204386; said:
My fish is similar to the OP's so it is possible I incorrectly identified this one. Regardless, you really don't see this fish around the trade which makes it a nice find.
