That was my thought, it just looked kind of green to me, it was bothering me earlier when I saw the this thread. I think its a giraffe, I recognized the vacuum cleaner mouth. Does your cat sift through the gravel for food dmopar?aquaman45;2880656; said:

Correct!! Used to be in the genus Parauchenoglanis,been changed for a couple of years now,commonly known as the dwarf Giraffe catfish,theres a similar secies in the same genus known as Guttatus."
Parauchenoglanis still exists and has 9 valid species - I believe that this fish is a Parauchenoglanis sp. - difficult to tell which though to be honest unless you know the collection locale.
I don't think that it is either Anaspidoglanis macrostoma or guttatus.
either way care for it is the same - small meaty foods - such as bloodworm, small catfish pellets, small bits of fish etc .. ideally they do like a sandy substrate as may rub away their barbels on gravel.
