It's definitely looks like a Aspredinid, from the Banjo Cat family.

Probably a species of Bunocephalus.

I see thanks

that is indeed a hara hara,
or common name is moth catfish.
I think I remember reading that
they were a small catfish, however
I do not know much about them,
differing varieties if there are any
may differ in size.
I do remember for sure a warning in the
information
I read that if it will fit in its mouth,
it will eat it.
And if it wont fit, it will still eat it.
I have only heard of them being kept in species
only tanks.

Heres 2 pics for comparison so you will
know for sure:
