Here's a couple pics of the catfish I picked up from scooter.

It is a Asterophysus batrachus, better known as a "Gulper" catfish for it's infamous ability to eat other fish over twice it's own size!  These fish are also known to be very personable to the point of hand feeding and enjoying being pet, which I have got to do just the other day.  He ate feeders right from my hand the 3rd day I had him, eight of them!.

 

 A face only a mother, or monster fish enthusiast could love:
