catfish species china?
I live in Guangdong Province China. I recently acquired some type of catfish from a fish market, and I wanted to know what species it was. It is about 30cm long with no scales, but a mucousy olive green skin and its fins are a little rusty colored. it has 1 distinct dorsal fin and 2 pectoral fins, plus a long tail fin running down the back half of the body. Could anyone give me a ID or tell me where I can find info on catfish species in southern China?

Update:i think its the same as the fish from this link:

Sounds like you have a "silurus asotus". Also known as the chinese catfish. They are wide spread market fish in most of east asia, japan taiwon, china, etc.
