It is impoosible to get a photo of him in the tank cause he always hides in daylight.

This looks like a species. Have a look.

Thanx Arc, that looks correct.
Planet catfish is the best.

Check the caudal fin, that's the easy part.

if it has a straight vertical edge and it's margin is colorless: L cyclurus. all fins on this cat have the clear edge, but it takes a close view to see it.

if the caudal is rounded and the whole fish including fins doesn't have clear edges anywhere on any fins it's L brevispinis.

caretaking is similar, but brevi's are more mildmannered, less territorial, smaller in general and far less inclined to dine on small tankmates than cyclurus.
