hey kuteboy, I love that catfish but I don't have an idea as to what it is. Lets wait for the experts. But in the meantime can you point as to where you got that in pinas? tnx
 
it looks like a rynchodoras xingui hard to tell the pics not all that clear does it have a split tail its the first pic but i think its hara hara moth cat(pimelous hara)
Identifying the "Asian Moth cats" is no easy matter with at the last count of about 7 species, not to mention the Erithistes species of Moth Cats which are also very alike. To go some way to identifying these species we have H.filamentosa which sports a long filament to the top ray of the caudal fin, H.jerdoni which has very long pectoral spines and is also very much smaller in size, H.horai which grows larger and has a larger adipose fin. These are the most, along with H.hara, "Moth Cats" seen in the aquarium trade today.
