Re: What is this?
Based on this single photo, it looks like a Panaque Maccus. More pics will help confirm.

Looks like a P. maccus to me. There's not too much that looks quite like P. maccus but the fish pictured looks stressed or otherwise off-color.

Re: What is this?
Anytime you capture a fish it becomes stressed. It is unnatural to be forcibly held and transferred. The stress colouration is a natural but temporary result of chemical changes within its body.
