Super stoked for you. Beautiful specimen. Definitely true Chinese wels as there was a bit of back and forth for a while about what was “true” Chinese wels, Amur catfish, or Chinese sheatfish. Happy to see you got a normal morph on your hands. These are increasingly rare with the new morph craze. Hope you can get him to become an over ~2’ footer. They may get a bad wrap, but they are the coolest catfish I’ve ever worked with. Enjoy this fish as I am enjoying mine!!!
