Catfish Identification

[daneil]

This is a picture from a dealer in China. And it is a little bit like Phalacronotus apogon in its body shape, but its body color remain pied. Is there anyone who have kept this kinda fish in captivity or have known it? Really wanna figure out what kinda fish species it is!

Without being able to see the head and the tail I would have to agree on phalocronotus, possibly a young/ regional coloration

But I hasten to add that they are not a species I have seen young or kept.

It's pretty ID unfriendly kind of a shot. It resembles Phalacronotus all I could say.
