Oh dear, another unsuitable catfish.
That is Hexanematichthys seemani, a Brackish/Marine dwelling species that does not live long in freshwater, only juviniles are found in freshwaters for a while until they head out into saltier waters.
They are also one of the most active catfishes available and require a minimum of a 150 gallon tank as adults and prefferably larger, they should also be kept in groups of 3 or more as they are social and require the company of their own kind.

and since when has a fish only reaching half of its average adult size in 10 years a good thing? That is what we in the hobby call stunting which results from fish being kept in the wrong conditions for a long period of its life, healthy adult shark cats should be 10 inches long within their first 2 years.

Much agreed with CFC and counter-parts. They resemble small bull sharks. Freshwater. Not salt
