what is the name of this catfish

[craig]

I can't find it in the books I have. He;s a real nice size and I'm wondering how big will it get?

It's a pim - Pimelodella ornatipinnis? Maybe get's to about 8 inches? I've seen them around, they used to be more common a decade or so ago.

Nice fish!

As predatory as P. pictus, just a bit bigger

100% pimelodus ornatus, i use to have one in my 180G got to about 12-13" before he died, was an old fish when i got it and i had it 3-4 years. A real character, you will enjoy it im sure.

nice pick up! I have one about 8", lots of fun. Mine is just as active and crazy as their little spotted cousins.
