Cryptarius truncatus, family Ariidae, This cat is reported from different sources from 16-20 inches as an adult! I could find very little other information on it, but it is definitely a beauty! Is it your's?
 
Yep i agree, and definately a real oddball:D

Thanks for the info, I bought it few days ago from a local lfs without any info. Understand its live in saltwater or blackish water, so as to say surviving rate in FW is rather low:(
If someone have experience in keeping this cat, please share............:)

Thanks, I personally like it very much. But I'm quit surprised to hear that this cat is commonly seen in our local sea:irked:
 
Cryptarius truncatus, is from the Ariidae family and is similar to Shark Cats, Arius Jordani or Arius Seemani in its requirements. But!!! i would rather keep it in a Brackish water setup or full salt water. you may have some succes in trying to acclimatise it to freshwater but hey good luck.

keep up the good stuff!!!

This cat is not so active as compare to my other cats, I just like the way it swim,very gracefully. No, its not in brackish. Will update more pics when its ready:)
