The fish in the picture actually looks like a tiger shovelnose x redtail catfish hybrid.If it is they are usually pretty active and always looking for food.You might have to make sure that it actually gets its share of food with the oscars and arowana cruising about.You might have to try some form of meat to get it started,try either raw shrimp,cut up fish fillet,or earthworms,they should do the trick but just make sure the other fish dont eat it all.If it is a redtail shovelnose,they grow pretty large pretty fast.

I second the opinion that its a hybrid TSN/RTC - when they are small they tend to eat bloodworm ALOT, also you may need to try some small live food. Then transition them to other meaty foods. I'll try to find a pic of mine for you to compare.
 
i believe that's a rtc x tsn just like the one on my avatar. they are carnivorous
