The two before me are not even close. Its a type of mystus catfish from the family Bagrididae. Im going to say Mystus mystucetus.

However, many of these species of mystus look the same so i could be wrong. But the family and genus is spot on.

Looks like mine when I could see them at the lfs and haven't seen much of them since. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=20
Maybe this.

i thought about vittatus. the problem is that vittatus has 4 bluish lines, and these fish clearly have three.
