Hello

I got a new cat now, can't find its name, it's not a common cat in holland.

Can you help me id it please??

Normal color is more black and white, bit of color due to stress.

Tnx a lot ! :)

I was thinking Chrysichthys ornatus but not so sure from this angle. Hard to tell. Most sites have side pics of their cats. Hard to do a good comparison from this angle. Hope it at least points you in the right direction
 
I just added a better side pic ;)

Looking at planetcatfish.com it sure looks like one, tnx a lot, i'll google some about this fish.

If anyone thinks different please let me know ;)
 
Yeah now I am thinking definitely what I mentioned above. Good luck. It's a beauty, and post pics and updates.
 
Its definitely Chrysichthys ornatus, one of my all time favourite cats, a great fish , but beware of putting anything smaller in with it.:)
 
There ar large central american cichlids in with him, and some smaller carpintes, they'll just have to swim carefully :)
