That is a niger species of catfish...

Doesn't look exactly like a niger, defidently a ripsaw cat though.

I did some looking around on planetcatfish about doradidae (ripsaw cats) and couldn't find any that looked similar (from what I can see)
Here's the link:

I think it is not a niger, whenever I've seen nigers that size and smaller, their head and mouth does not look like the one in the pictures (from what is shown).

Ok, now I think it may be a Megalodoras uranoscopus, but the color in the pics you've provided (looks like blood) doesn't match (if it isn't blood).

I agree, I edited my post like two seconds ago lol...

Is the red blood? I think so.

Yeah, that's blood.
They always have them at my LFS.
There are two different types(M. guayoensis and M. uranoscopus) also known as giant raphael cats.
Here's a youtube vid of a nice uranoscopus(along with the rest of the fish in the tank)
