It looks like a Mystus bleekeri (Pakistan, India) to me. But, I don't have a good view of the caudal base. If there's any light pattern of a spot at the center of the caudal peduncle, then the fish could be a leucistic morph of Mystus sp. montanus that is commercially cultivated in India. Either way, nice pickup.

Looks more like Mystus castaneus, maybe it's the adipose fin.

Looks like a Leusistic Asian Red tail catfish.

Looks like a Leusistic Asian Red tail catfish.

not a chance, the adipose fin does not match.

I am more inclined to agree with ming then Odd.
