what catfish is this?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a couple of these little guys in my growout tank with my festaes, carpintis lahillas, and tetracanthus nandopsis. What color are the barbs under its mouth? This will help in the ID, they look like nigrita or occifellier. Use google images and compare your fish to those tw species, there are a couple more pissibilities, but its prolly one of these two.
 
looks alot like an nigrita and by the way yes the cichild is pretty big just one 9''mean *** red devil thats it, the thing is that its my friends fish hes about 5 inches and he says its geting to big for his tank and wants to get rid of it, he also says it would do good with the red devil, the catfish is curently housed with african cichilds in a 55 gallon
