Sorry man i don't know what it is but it looks cool.
How did it get in your tank, i have discovered 1 or 2 catfish in my tank but i rememberd putting them in i just never saw them.

I did add 2 wild synodontis ages ago...But they dont look like that..

 

[Eoibio]

I actually think there are two of them. They love lying motionless in the elodea..

Really hard to tell, but it looks like some kind of plec to me.

 

[z5nick]

kinda looks like a porthole cat or a loach

if you added 2 wild synos a while ago its possible that pattern changed as they grew.
S. eupterus has reticulated pattern all over its body when very young but as it grows the patter changes to gray with small dark spots.

I does look a little like a syno.

shake up the plants and persuade them to come out. then get better pics so we can properly ID them
