I think Panaque changae.

 

[dpk2313]

Thats also what I was thinking L226

 

[reddragon343]

it is beautiful either way. looks like a panaque type.

The only reason I'd say it isnt a L226 is yours is bigger than they are suppost to get http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=761 But the info on the site could be wrong cuz some of the pics do look like yours

 

[dpk2313]

I see what you mean he is definitely over 4"

 

[knifegill]

Is he bloated or is that just gravity acting on him?

Standard Length (SL) does not include the caudal fin.

Also a specimen could easily exceed SL. SL comes from the original description where a sample of the population is collected. Who to say they were able to capture the maximum the species could grow to?
