Wels are nearly impossible to buy by accident. Actually, I should say just impossible. In the US anyway. It could have been an Ompok (siluroides is by far the most common) but since you say it outgrew 125 gal quickly, it could have been a Wallago, most likely leerii or micropogon. Which are usually expensive fish. Ompok are cheap.

Was thinking the same think but then thought it's hard to mix the two. But to didn't consider it may be to an untrained eye

was kind of pissed that the lfs sales person didn't know what it was but it ate like a pig and grew very fast
