It looks like some type of Chrysichthys but I do not know what species.

Click the Genus link to browse the species currently in the Cat-eLog.

As I already guessed in an earlier thread (it would have been better to combine the two threads), it is S. aor. The snout looks slightly deformed to me, though.
