Please ID my cat

[imusuallyuseless]

I've had this guy in my CA/SA cichlid tank for a while now, but I wasn't there when the wife bought him, so I'm hoping you guys can ID him for me and possibly point me in the direction of an information profile. Thanks in advance

How many whiskers does the cat have?

 

[imusuallyuseless]

Looks like 6. Two very large ones on the upper lip and 4 smaller ones pointing down attached to the lower lip

Looks like a channel due to it's forked tail.

I think it looks llike a channel or some other NA catfish

Thanks I've been wondering for a while

Hmm, well just looked up pics of bullhead. My fish seems to have more of a shine to it's skin and also the tail has more of a fork to it.
