Based on this single photo, it looks like a Panaque Maccus. More pics will help confirm.

Ok, thanks! How sure you are that this is P.maccus? How many similar species?

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.

Thanks! I koko the sane thing, that fish look stressed. I dont know what is wrong, it live 200-Kitee tank, temp. 27 celsius. Maybe it stressed becouse i caught it to my phototank.

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.
