someone locally is selling a 13" catfish. they say it looks like a shark.
he doesnt have pictures, and i sent them a pic of a IR, and they said they dont think thats it.
asking $15 obo

I'd say its probably a Columbian Shark Cat for that price. if so, it will require high end brackish to marine conditions at that size.
 
It could be a Paroon for that much. Especially on the craigslist, in my area a lot of people don't really know what they have half the time except its a "shark" catfish
 
my guess though, is if he said its not an IR, its probably not a paroon either, because they look very similar. and i dont think i have even seen a paroon around here...
my guess is columbian too, and i sent him a like of that and the only response i got was "its not really a shark, it just looks like a shark" ... LIKE I DIDNT KNOW THAT!!! i read his post, lol
anyhow, he wont be around til this weekend. so if i have time and feel like messing with it, i will go check it out. if its columbian, i cant take it because i dont have a brackish tank
