Here is the lone mystery catfish I have.

The catfish in question is the one in front, between the 2 clown loaches.

Can anyone tell me what he is?

He likes to hide most of the day inside the body of the resin tree trunks with the clown loaches.

He comes out when there is food and also in the evenings.

Thanks in advance for the id.

;)
 
Unless its a lot smaller than the photo appears it looks like a female. The males get thicker orange pectoral fins and being a bubble nest breeder with territorial guarding, this species is a lot of fun to breed.
 
my dad has two in his 125 and my brother has one in his 55. Fun cats very active and our lfs was just lucky enough to get them in.
 
I have a mystery cat. He's about 1 inch long, and I keep him in my 10G. He has the colorings of a Kuhli loach, and he was sold as a "Stoned Catfish".
