Was told he’s a type of Synodontis when I got him at my local pet store? If so which one does anyone know?

I'd guess at
Trachysurus
. Need more pics for a more certain ID.

I haven't a clue at the moment. Not a Tachysurus. Not a bumblebee catfish. How big is the fish?

I'm going to revise my identification to
Pseudomystus siamensis
after looking at the last pic closely.
