You beat me to the punch! Thanks for the info. I can't remember what it was called, I got this fish quite a while ago from my LFS. All I know is it was a generic name like "whiskerfish" (ok, that was slightly exaggerated).
 
wow thats a cool cat
 
yep u found it just beat u by a little lol...... they are cool catfish from the same family as the african graffie catfish........ i love to identify catfish cuz a lot a like some times its just the ammount of babels that puts in it another family or a diff sp........... if u can find more ur would like it and u might even get them to breed.......
 
scary looking
 
Yes, it's a ornatus. Cool cats, got one myself as well.
 
My LFS has had a couple of these in for awhile now. If I had the tank space I think I would have gotten one by now. Neat cats.
 
thats one neat lookin cat bro
