Could it be one of the Hemibagrus?

Sure enough, I have to agree. Has a lot of Hemibagrus traits in appearance tho. Looks a little beat up, what is living with?

I have another question, don't Chrysichthys ornatus max out at about 10"? The OP claims it's a foot long.
 
i'd dooubt its a foot long - would be a true monster if it is - but a nice cat
 
Thank's for the ID. From what it say's on planetcatfish it say's 9.9" for Chrysichthys ornatus but he look's closer to 11" ,when he come's out next (which is not often) i will measure him properly .He's in a 88 uk gallon corner tank.His tank mate's are a mystus , synodontis, 5 clown loach ,spiney eel and a hemibagrus (last picture) I think the hemibagrus is the only one likely to give the Chrysichthys ornatus any trouble but he is only about 9" or 10" .
