I bought this guy a couple hours ago along with a Sun Cat... they are both about 2" right now. I really wanted to buy an Asian Red Tail, but thought better of it... they had four of them ranging from 4 or 5" to about 9". The guy said they originally had them in with some IR sharks until after about a week, half the IR Sharks were missing, lol. They also had a few SA Red Tails at about 1 or 2", TSN's, a Jaguar Catfish, which hid all the time, but looked cool and two 7" "Black Wallugo Catfish" could't find anything on them, but the guy said they get to 4 feet!! They looked pretty cool. Anyway, back to this guy in the pics... I was thinking Bullhead of some sort, but I really have no clue. Thanks and any help would be great!!

He was in a big tank full of rainbow fish... there was no label so the guy, who I've known for about 5 years, gave it to me for $5. I just liked the colors, which are a not shown well in the pics... sorry. He is kinda flat and a blueish grey color.
 
Defenitely a channel catfish.
 
four pair of barbels was a clue channel grow big between 5-8lbs upwards in the wild can reach 40-50lbs but in a aquarium probably 5-10lbs at most dependent on the size of tank and what you freed
