Sorry. It's in neither Vandelliinae or Stegophilinae families.

OK, I'll reveal this one and let someone else post a pic. We're going out to dinner so, I can't monitor the thread.

This is Hassel's Leaf catfish (Silurichthys hasseltii) from Indonesia. Family: Siluridae. These cats are known to leave the water and forage for invertebrates in the leaf clutter along stream banks.

Heteropneustes fossilis. Seeing that second picture not so sure anymore. One the plus side I've added Luke 10 more cats to my wish list during thus search
