Hello & welcome to PC.
Well, a plain catfish.... That's brave to say with about 3500 different species .
I think it's an Ancistrus species; these belong in Loricariidae. There are many Ancistrus species, so I can't possibly tell you which one it is.
You could check the Cat-eLog (upper toolbar); click scientific name L-Z; select Loricariidae and check the many Ancistrus species overthere.

Oke, thanks for the answers.
But now the next question; what do I feed hem/her?
I have catfish tablets but he/she won't eet it.
Could it be that there is enough to eet at the moment in the fishtank? Or doens't he/she eet such tablets?

Best food is vegetables, Courgette (zucchini), sweet pepper (bell-pepper, (mild)paprika), beans (any tinned beens that don't have too much added [that is, do not feed with "Baked Beans" or "Chili beans"] to them - and peel the little skin off). They will also eat sweet potato, potato, cucumber, melon, mango, various types of squash (pumpkins and such).
Prepared (fish-shop) food such as Algae-wafers will also be eaten, but in my opinion, they should be fed sparingly, as they contain a bit much protein.
