definitly not any wallago sp.
It has a small mouth, and the head looks like a bullhead or something.

Maybe a plotosid? I don't know any that have yellow lines on their tails, though. I could be completely off...

well, not on the tailfin, but behind where all the organs are. just above where the long knifefish-like anal fin is.
My bad, It's 3 yellow lines.

What about a schilbeid, such as ? I don't think that S. intermedius is yellow, though.
