Catfishes are one of the darnest fish to identify for it is hard to differentiate from their physical appearance alone. Sorry but I can't really tell what species it is. I have also have no idea on how well marine catfish will adapt to freshwater either. Maybe it is a freshwater catfish. :sweatdrop:

But from the picture it doesn't seem quite like the Mozambique Sea Catfish.

As one of the species of marine catfish, they fairly common along Johor straits and changi waters. Punggol jetty is a good place to hunt for them for starters.

You can also join fishing boat charters in the Ubin and Changi areas if you get a chance.
