I've seen two similar looking, Amblydoras hancocki, and Platydorus costatus.

That fish seems quite alive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love that specimen. :D

My money is on hancocki.

That is an awesome specimen. I'd set up a tank just for it, if I had one!

That is an awesome looking fish. You might even be able to see that one after you turn the lights out! Thanks for sharing the pic.

Wouldn't it have red eyes if it was albino, or does that not apply to fish? Either way, that is a very beautiful catfish.

It would if it's a "full" albino. There's some lesser grades of albinism, this particular form is called Leucistic, which has missing skin colour, but still has coloured eyes.
