That is a zamora catfish (Auchenipterichthys thoracatus). More info here.
They are best kept in acidic water (pH under 7.2).

It's a Yahoo photo album, and you need a Yahoo account to log in to view the album.

Sorry, didn't realize it earlier. Edited the post and the picture showed up, but that was probably because I was logged in already.
