Spotted Raphael Catfish
Although the correct taxonomical identification has been graciously listed, thought I would use the dratted "common name".
Also, thought you might enjoy some trivia from a long-time fish keeper who can still enjoy life's little moments. I have 3 of them and have had them for 5 years - since I maintain a well planted tank with caves and shelters, they are rarely seen during the daylight hours. However, when I have had to remove them for full-tank teardown and cleaning, the "chatter" that ensues is quite comical. Ergo, the tag "talking catfish". Very easy to maintain species and really delightful when they present themselves. Enjoy!
