My current favorite is the vulture catfish or Calophysus macropterus.
-Got the opportunity to get one about a month ago and couldn’t pass it up been the most unique catfish I’ve owned so far.

Welcome to the MFK!

Pleased to meet another catfish lover. Doradids, such as irwini and niger, are sometimes labeled "prehistoric catfish" when offered for sale. Rather sadly with no other details given by a seller.

This will help: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/my-catfish-collection.663971/

Mine (as of Apr 2016) is on page 6, post #57 but I am not a keeper. I am a hoarder.
