Identification Needed..

[intrxz]

Anyone know d exact name for this fish..looks like some kind of catfish to me but I have not seen one before. I purchased it from a LFS yesterday. I asked the LFS owner about the fish name and he replied me the same. Origin : caught it by net by some local tribe in the remote jungle of Johor state.

Info: plz..tq

Hmmm...kind of a toughy. Got a clearer picture? At the moment, I'm guessing Leiocassis Micropogon, but the head shape seems different.

Is that a chaca chaca possibly?? can you get a better picture?

Forget the catfish dude, if I were you buy the FRT!
