What is this catfish?

I know nothing about catfish, but I found this forum & it seems like a good place to look.
I bought a tank that came with a few fish--2 unknown catfish & 1 pleco.
The catfish are 8-9 inches, they don't hide during the day, and every 20 minutes or so they both quickly swim to the surface and make a large splash--my guess is that they take a gulp of air.
The photo was taken by the guy I got the tank from--I can take an additional photo if needed. I think the most interesting thing about their appearance is that the scales appear to be in straight diagonal lines across their bodies.
