Looks like Pseudopimelodus fowleri. But, I think they were renamed Cephalosilurus fowleri. These cats are out of Brazil and grow to about 16". Mean muthas, too. What they can't eat, they'll bully.
 
Thanks for the info, about to recieve one from one of my friends if things work out
 
I agree with COL although they both are rather thick, look at the diference in the lengths of the head and eye placement from the back of the cranium!
