It's a Spotted Rapheal Cat (Agamyxis pectinifrons). Part of the Doradidae family which include the Talking Cafish. But I think these guys also do the croaking noises when they're taken out of the water.

Yes he's a spotted Rapheal. They are the fastest of growers.

I think Spotted get 6" while Strips get 8" They tend to grow slow from my understanding.

they're also aptly named talking catfish...paintboi was right they are slow growers...they get about 6" then just keep growing outward till they look bout like a spotted softball...lol...got some big spots though...mine has prolly 5x more and they're a lot smaller than that
