yes sun catfish or eclipse catfish native to the mekong river and surrounding area. they grow in the area from 18" to 2' but are rather slow growers. mostly nocturnal but are active during the day sometimes. they do require a large hiding spot tho. Good luck with him, this fish is the reason i started keeping monsters (bought him at 2" without knowing the end result). Ive had mine for around 6 years it really is a great cat
