I bought an upside-down catfish from PJ's Pets the other day, for my girlfriend, because she bought one about 6 months ago and it disappeared.

This new one is all black, sleek looking, really pretty and only about 3 inches long.

Anyway, yesterday I was cleaning her tank, because she's away, and I lifted up her log to clean algae off it, and out swim two upside down catfish, and they are completely different! One of them looks like a large, fat, brown cory.

So now it turns out we have two upside-down catfish, and they are clearly not the same species, so I'm like "what did I buy? o.o"

A little (late) internet research suggests I have somehow ended up with another massive fish, with various sources saying the Mystus Leucophasis grows from 8 to 18 inches, and some people saying it's calm and friendly, and others saying it will eat anything smaller than it. (Thanks PJ's!)

Looks like this one, very nice.

Not the first time PJ's has done that. When I was just starting out in the hobby they tricked me into buying a Chinese algae eater that was labeled as a Siamese. I didn't even realize I had bought something else until it started getting bigger... and bigger... etc.

I wouldn't complain =) You can buy a German Blue Ram for the price of a Bolivian Ram =) LOL!
