Catfish ID

I picked this guy up in one of the last fish shipments I received. They had just thrown him in because they didn't have the original cat that I wanted. Just wanting to verify what I already think it is.

It's one of the meanest catfish out there. It is a Asian Redtail 100%.

That's what I figured. I thought it was a mystus wickii at first when I put it in a tank a couple of months ago, didn't really look at him. I never really saw him again until I moved him into another tank and realized that he had the red tail.

He has been fine. He's been in with some cichlids and hasn't bothered them at all. Acts a lot like my raphael catfish, always hiding and I never see him eat.
