eclipse catfish?

I saw some of these catfish at Petsmart today so I came home and googled it, but I couldn't really find anything about them. Does anyone have any of these and if so can you share a little info about them. They look like a cool catfish to have.

its named wrong..not surprising.
but its called a sun catfish, Horabagrus brachysoma.
you should be able to find plenty of info now

I believe Petsmart needs to change their info card, because they said this catfish only gets to be 5 inches. After doing some research they get huge!
