Did this have a scientific name? I have never heard that common name before. (Thinking about it, it is probably some kind of Synodontis?).

Australian? Or African? I hate that sign. If it's the same one, it was there when I visited years ago and it's just a mess. It's reprehensible.

also, was the Black-billed Gull no longer there? They had one which had come from the Marineland after it closed and lived with the penguins. They used to have one White-flippered Penguin too - did you see that there or no?
 
The Catfish is signed as Synodontis spp.

Yeah, African, sorry. It's a different sign now though.

Only saw two Penguins and no gull, but wasn't in there too long.
 
For completeness sake: there's also Australian ghostsharks, Callorhinchus milii
