Looks like some kind of Asian catfish to me, maybe a Mystus?

Hi Silurus,

You mean Pangasius sanitswongi?

Nope, it's a pangasiid.

Azlan,

Nope, the correct spelling should be sanitswongsei.

Depends on whether you have the space for it. Pangasiids need a lot of swimming room and can grow fairly large. They are not really suitable for the average aquarist because they do best in a very large tank.
