HELP I need a photo of a CATFISH skeleton

[Jewmaster]

Help, I would like to show a co-worker the skeleton of a catfish that has the depiction of Jesus on the cross.

I don;t know if this is all catfish but in the NT if you clean off and dry out a catfish the skeleton has a vague figure of a cross ect.

Does anyone have a phot of one they could post as I can;t find it on the web, I recently saw them for sale at the markets and my grandmother has a couple but she is too far away.

Any help please
:o

Crucifix catfish: Arius Proops

I found a painted one here: http://australia.jrn.msu.edu/2003/lindsaywd.html

The one here has been carved out to accentuate the crucifix:

I think this one is intact:

Are the catties the eel tailed or forky tailed variety??
Me, I am just tired at 40... I also retired about 7 years ago. ;)

Grant's Guide to Fihes (Queensland) had a good picture - my scanner is out of action, otherwise I'd post it.

Well push finally come to shove and I ended up reinstalling the scanner so here is your pic courtesy of E.M. Grant.
