Can you give me a proper ID for this fish?

Hello to everybody!
I bought this fish this afternoon but they were not able to tell me its name

They told me it comes from Borneo but I am not sure that it is true

Can you help me to identify my fish?
Thank you.

Looks like a Spotted Hillstream Loach, (Gastromyzon punctulatus), not a catfish.

Gastromyzon ctenocephalus.

A loach, not a catfish.

Thank you very much. I apologize for my mistake! I have checked and it seems to be really a Gastromyzon punctulatus.
Bye. Federico
