A Rhino would be my best guess too but it doesn't quite look like the one in my avatar. Maybe it's a Rhino/x hybrid.
 
I just did a quick surf on PFC's catalog, seems no one has the same looking specimens on their photos that was submitted either.
 
I agree with Warborg, my first guess was Pterygoplichthys scrophus aka Rhino, but it doesn't quite fit right. It's definitely Pterygoplichthys (you can tell by counting the dorsal fin rays, they usually have 11-13), perhaps an aberrant colour morph of P. pardalis?
 
I gotta agree with a rhino, it doesnt look exactly like one, but its very close
