Catfish ID
Looking for a bit of a hand. I purchased these two about two years ago under the name Port Hoplo but i'm trying to see if I can get a second opinion on the matter.
I've looked at profiles online, and i've seen some that do look like mine, and some that do not that have been named Port Hoplo. Would they be under another more common name? Thanks, Jake.   [/img]

Fantastic! Now that I know the scientific name I googled it and ended up with lots of information. Are they fairly common to see in stores?
I think I have 2 females. Drat. Thanks, Jake.
