I bought this fish as a baby at my LFS and one of the workers said it was a cross between 2 different types of catfish... It's 5 inches long right now... And is there a possibility that it could breed with my pictus catfish... Thanks

Looks a lot like a African Featherfin Catfish but the tail colors look different. I haven't seen one with yellow in the tail. But I will say I have never keep one or even looked into them a lot so I could be wrong.


As for a mix of two catfish, some catfish can cross breed but no idea what ones can if any.

I agree, it is one of the synodontis species (possibly a hybrid) which are African. I seriously doubt it will cross with your pictus cat though.

Take a look here and see what looks closest. S. Eupterus and Nigriventis possibly but I'm no expert.
