Im having some trouble identifying this catfish. In the picture you get to see him fat and happy after stealing food from his tankmates. He was about four inches when he died due to a tank accident, still seemed to be growing though. Never found out what he was, and id like to know. Please help!

I think you may have nailed it. At first glance it looks closer than any other guesses, ill have to look into it more. Thanks!

does/did it have 8 barbels? I can't tell from that pic. If yes, then Mystus or other Bagridae is one good guess.
 
I don't have it anymore, this picture was the only good one I had. I would love to get another one if I can though

I browsed through Mystus and most Bagridae. I cannot see a good match. I suggest trying on PlanetCatfish.com. The pic is not good but you will be given very good/close guesses there, I am sure.
 
Not on the vendor list but he definitely ate the way that article described haha...you can see the evidence in the picture
