Borneo duck mouth catfish - These are on the BAS stocklist identifed as Ompok fumidus, a species not in cat-e-log.

That's not to say the fish there are the same as the ones on the photo.
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!

That's boss aquariums in Falkirk who is selling them. Interestingly one of their chaps was round at my house today talking over plans for my fish room. I should go and have a look at these - but they do look like Wallago.
