Thanks for the replies fellas this is the first fish ive owned that felt at home in the tank out of the bag lil guy ate and took over a spot right away . checked the net and reviews are mixed on size some say 18" some say 36 any info you guys have ... Im bad about impulse purchases 
they get around three feet it will def get bigger then 18'' if its a ARTC but its hard to say do you have any more photos its proubly some kind of albino bagrid def not a channel
Thats not a Hemibagrus. ARTC are more elongated, have flatter broader heads and thier dorsal fins are not pointed. I'm looking at a live ARTC right now . I agree with your first instinct its some sort of pictus or pimeloid in general. Nifty fish either way

i don't think its a Red tail.. check the lower part of the body.. i think its too broad.. also the head is too small and not so rounded... lastly, the tail looks too seperated to one another and is also too pointed unlike a red tail's...:/ just my opinion though....

I agree, the long whiskers that it has looks a lot like a pictus to me.
To end the confusion. I can't really tell in the pics so I wish to hear from the owner. Does this fish have 3 sets of barbells(whiskers) or 4 That would be either 6 total wiskers or 8 total wiskers if you don't know what a set is. Not that I don't trust your intelligence in the military you learn to explain everything down to the last detail so that even the most inept people can understand. Anyway the reason I ask is that you can rule out pimelodids or really most south american catfish, because they have 3 sets of whiskers, and asian red tails have 4 sets. Hope this helps looks like Hemibargus nemurus from what I can see. Better pics would help. The adipose, dorsal and pectoral fins, plus eye placement appear to be the same. Just waiting on confirmation for the whiskers. The adipose fin definitely does not match up with any other Hemibargus species that matches the other fins and eyes as well.
