It's a synodontis of soem sort, a fish from the mochokidae (spelling?) family which are the squeeker catfish.

Looks like it may be a hybrid though, from that angle the bodyshape and dorsal look incorrect for the most commonly traded synodontis eupterus.

looks like a hybrid of Synodontis angelicus and maybe something like synodontis ocellifer, IMO
