What on earth is this?

IMO it could be the mentioned Megalodoras uranoscopus aka irwini http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=143 .....

..... but my money is on its close cousin Lithodoras dorsalis http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=443

Adult Pterodoras granulosus does not look like that at all: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=524

I didnt realise they were as colourful as that. I figured something alomg those lines with the spikes up the side. just never seen colour like that

Check out these photos too, albeit, as I said, I don't think the fish in the OP pic is an irwini. I think it's a Rock-Bacu aka Soldier Catfish aka Lithodoras dorsalis.
