If it is Distichodus sexfasciatus, it is a characin aka "tetra" not a catfish.

Thank you Stormhawk. It is Distichodus sexfaciatus.
This particular fish gets huge, but it is beautiful when fully grown. There's a similar looking species called Distichodus lusosso.

Yes, mine is already more than 12" in length. I kept it in a 3ft tank with a IT but so far it don't bite the IT as claimed but will like to chase it around when there is food. It will grow to 18" at least.
I am the one who gave the name to the fish, and I never receive a "Thanks" but moderator Stormhawk got it, quite strange?

He should have credited you instead, but I don't know why. In any event, it's a huge "tetra".
