That's not a bullhead. Looks like a Chrysichthys sp. to me.

Looks more like Chrysichthys brevibarbis to me. I noticed that the fish in the third photo does not appear to be the same species as the others. Cattiex, do you have more than one catfish in the tank?

i found out what he is at last lol a Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus but i dont know anything about him still does anyone have any ideas ?

Actually, the dorsal fin is too short to be C. nigrodigitatus (which has a much taller fin).
There's a fact sheet for this on http://www.scotcat.com.
