my LFS got in a really cool looking catfish today, it was sold to them as a whiptail catfish, but after looking it up, it's not a whiptail. i don't think it has a sucker for a mouth, and it has a wide, flat light brown body. one of the tail spines (can't remember which one)is very long, almost as long as the body itself. anybody have a guess with this? otherwise, i'll try and get a pic somehow. it's a frickin awesome catfish.
 
maybe a banjo cat, shorter than whiptails, and of course a different family. But picture would help.
 
here's some pics. sorry it took so long to get them. they suck, but so does my camera. the body's about 4-5 inches long

i think you can kinda see the long "thread" coming off his tail. it's about as long as his body

Dam that thing is weird! I'd buy it. :thumbsup: No idea on the name tho...
 
That catfish I have no idea what it is.:help2: Not Sturisoma, not banjo. Have you posted this in other catfish forums for vast array of views?
