That's not a bullhead. Looks like a <i>Chrysichthys</i> sp. to me.

Yes, that would be my best guess also.

Looks more like <i>Chrysichthys brevibarbis</i> to me. I noticed that the fish in the third photo does not appear to be the same species as the others. Cattiex, do you have more than one catfish in the tank?

i found out what he is at last lol a Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus but i dont know anything about him still does anyone have any ideas ?

Actually, the dorsal fin is too short to be <i>C. nigrodigitatus</i> (which has a much taller fin).
