What type of fish is this?

[Iknownobetta]

I was given a fish tank with a strange fish I have never seen before. Is anyone able to identify it for me please?

Not sure what it is but it is definitely cool

It reminds we vaguely of a Julii Cory cat.

It looks to be a young, pretty unhealthy Synodontis catfish. Possibly a featherfin.

 

[Byron]

I would agree.

It's a really unwell and deformed Synodontis catfish. It has no dorsal fin and has pits all over its face. It's tail is clamped and the fish is really skinny.

Try feeding it on prawn, fish, frozen (but defrosted) bloodworms, brineshrimp and mysis shrimp. Feed it 3-5 times a day for a month then reduce feeding to 2-3 times a day for a month and then reduce it to 1-2 times a day from then on.

Do a 50-75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for the first month then reduce it to 2-3 times a week for a month, then reduce it to once a week.

The water also looks cloudy. Try doing as @Colin_T suggested.
