Not sure about this one, seems to me the eyes are a bit big for an ompok. The dorsal fin seems bigger too, and o. siluroides usually has a slighty mottled brownish coloration.

Interesting looking cat. I cannot ID it atm. Is it calm and adjusted (meaning displaying the normal colors)?

The body shape looks like a Kryptopterus type to me: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=11 but they have almost no dorsal fin. Yours does. Which one of the Siluridae this one looks close to to your eye? http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=7

Well looks like I have a fun one to id. He has the Same coloration now as he did at the store and he seems to b adjusted. I'm going to see if I can get him to cooperate and get some better pics of him.

It's beyond me atm. If no one comes through, I suggest posting it on Planet Catfish - very high chances of getting the best ID there.
