That's Clarias batrachus, the african walking catfish. And, it's a piebald color morph (marketed as calico). These were federally banned in the US.
If you're housing it in a community keep a watchful eye on him. These cats have a habit of antagonizing tank mates to death, especially after lights out.

They're air-breathers so the water's DO is not a major factor. The species is tropical but, can tolerate temperature drops to the mid-60s F.
