Welcome to the Planet!

To me it looks like an obscure catfish species that is often sold as "Blue jumper catfish". We as a community appear to still not know what species this exactly is. There are several guesses. If interested, I can fetch a link or two to the relevant threads.

No need to start a thread for each photo. You can make as many posts as you like in each thread, if they are on the same topic.

I plan to do some info on this group of fishes soon, spent some time with John Lundberg talking about this fish earlier this year and I will try to get that onto the site soon.

Cheers,

Jools
