I'd like to know this...

I know this is an old post, but I'd like to know the answer...I noticed them on the order form for the store I work at, and am wondering what they are so I know what to tell customers. I can't find any information on them.

Eclipse catfish is a little used common name for Horabagrus brachystoma, also called the sun catfish and golden redtailed catfish depending on what part of the world you are in. They grow to around 18 inches and will eat anything that fits into their large mouths, including other fish up to half their own size. A 180 gallon tank with massive filtration is needed to house adults.
