It's an Asian Redtail Catfish (Hemibagrus Nemurus), not to be confused with the RTC or Red-Tailed Catfish. I had one, he ate my smaller fish coz they have BIG mouths. They love bloodworms.

it is a piramutana pitramuta from peru, very cool cat, at one time I had like 6 of them in one tank. It is better to have them with a light colored gravel, they get darker if u use dark gravel.
