To me that looks like a cyprinidae not a catfish.
The scales give it away as not a catfish.

Cheers lorne i'll do some searching- its mouth was a massive sucker. . .

Can not be a "Cat Fish" it has scales

Hi all,
Looks like a Cyprinid to me too with those big scales. How about a Mahseer? wrong colour I suppose.

If it is a Marine fish? a Humphead Wrasse or similar.

cheers Darrel

All right I should change the title as its not a cat but out wouldnt have sounded so good! I'm still researching all your suggestions so thank you, its a tropical for sure. Respect cole

 

[ccole]

Ok its not a cyrindae or a shark- the mouths are totally wrong, its mouth is the same.as a pleco and it is about a foot long! I don't know I thought you guys knew it all!lol

[ccole]

That's the one! Amazing job thank you- do you spend all day studying different fish? Cheers m8 . Respect cole

 

[Lornek8]

Cyprinidae, as suspected. Cyprinidae is a large family containing carp, goldfish & minnows. Had another browse through & came across a fish called a "blue sucker". Name pretty much matched your description.

 

[ccole]

Lol how on earth did I mis that! Wel thanks again. Lol

 

[Marsbar]

I think , if i'm right the fish in the pictureis a black shark
Labeo chrysophekadion
Not very common in the trade these days as they do grow to a large size. same family as the red tail black/red finned shark
check out the pictures in the link below

i can second that for the fish being a black shark. they get huge and i've seen some pretty big ones at the lfs, long time ago though.

i hope your not thinking of getting one? :lol:

 

[ccole]

lol- no i was just really interested in what it was- what a beauty though
