Catfish ID?

[FunWow!]

Well I was thinking this guy was some kind of bumble bee catfish but when I look at all the species of them that none are really like it. Pointed face and small mouth on this 6inch cat. All them others are wider.

Ichiban Asian Tropical Fish. Right now 1 of 2 fish left at 6". Wrongly ID'ed as Leiocassis poecilopterus golden catfish but from everything I can see it is a Bagroides melapterus. $175 before shipping.

My dream fish and the first time I see one for sale. A heart breaker for me

That's what I am saying. A first for me too.

Someone, please, get it and make a thread worthy of this unique and great-looking fish!
